I would take issue with the idea that most beastmen are of low intelligence and that they simply speak in simplistic phrases. First, there's the awesome quote from earlier which is quite eloquent, and then there's Gor Half-Horn who is a very proficient assassin, not a meat shield at all, and who speaks in a very understandable if gruff manner. The low intelligent beastmen found in the Guard might have been chosen specifically because of that, as they are more willing to follow orders blindly and who will rush into battle heedlessly in order to be used as little more than chaff before the main attack begins.

It also probably pays not to be obviously clever around people who despise and hate you and are already planning on using you as cannon fodder.

There’s a beastman in Necromunda.

They would. They should have a stat-line of an Ork Boy, though.

And Graphite is right, the beastmen are goats by default because reasons (I think making n different animal species would be rather difficult), but they can be anything. I modeled mine to be cows and horses, but you can take any animal, actually. Almost literally.

DnD bestiary or... erm... the extra heretical collection of entries known as 'monster girls' might be useful. Any humanoid would.

Monster girls?

It’s been said more eloquently than this already, but being born mutated=/=being predisposed to hate the Emperor.

True, but being born mutated is seen as a sign of "sin" and baseline humans will often discriminate against you even if they don't outright kill you for it.This can make mutants resentful of the people that harry them in the name of the Emperor, and speaking out against - or Emperor forbid fighting! - someone properly sanctioned by the Imperial System is heresy. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
