These races had minimal "official" support, but stats / powers / etc.

Duergar* (Now an official Dwarf Subrace as of Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide).Interesting to note here that 4e Shadar-kai weren't elves. In addition to the books, 4th edition's monthly Dragon magazine added 2 official races. Shadar-kai* (Now an official Elf Subrace as of MToF).(5e Eladrin picked up some of that, actually) Dragon Magazine Shardminds were psionic crystal beings with a sort of hive consciousness if I remember correctly, and Wilden were plant people who had "seasonal" subraces they could change between. Minotaur (Added in both the Ravnica and Theros D&D supplements)Īs an interesting note, 4th edition didn't let you do organized play as a Githyanki, only a Githzerai.Razortooth Shifter (Added to 5e w/ official Eberron Support)Ĥth edition didn't have nearly as many subraces as 5th does, but Shifters (a lycanthrope-blooded race) got two.

Longtooth Shifter (Added to 5e w/ official Eberron Support).

Deva* (Parallels with Aasimar from Volo’s Guide to Monsters).

Interesting to note that Half-Orcs and gnomes did not make it into the PHB 1 in 4e (they're in PHB 2 instead), but PHB to PHB, the initial races available were otherwise nearly the same.

Eladrin* (Now an official Elf Subrace as of Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes).

(A * denotes that the race in question has been combined or altered, or is otherwise inconclusive as to whether or not it was truly "carried over" between editions) Player's Handbook

Races are actually one of the easier things though! To start with, though, 4th Edition had much more source material. This is an interesting question that could be rephrased as "What's not in 5th edition.yet?" because Wizards has indeed been filling in some of the gaps.
