The average sphere has far more creatures than that. Not only that, why
should elves, humans, and tinker gnomes be the only land races in space?
Surely dwarves and all the other races would have gone too. (Tinker Gnomes
make sense???) Scro are also a very good space race, in part as a
replacement for all the humanoids the average party slaughters on land.
On a side note, I frankly prefer diversity in my campaign and feel that it
would exist where we have all these enormous number of spheres. To say the
entire AD&D space universe only contains 5 creatures is pretty limiting.
