I am in favor of the existence of Beastman, Bestfolk grouping all humanoid beings with animal traits and furries, we could start with Centaurs, Lizardmen and for more specifics we could use the monster girl quest encyclopedia manual as inspiration.
I can’t imagine how a dwarf’s Lona could be implemented in a game; it would be no different from an ordinary human’s Lona at all. Lona is already short in stature. Make it even smaller. This is an incredible amount of work. This is essentially redrawing all the sprites in the game. It's easier to add a dozen new races to the game. And its implementation by adding a beard to the face, no thanks...
So you can forget about Lona the dwarf.
