Right now I'm looking at The Dragon and the George by Gordon R. Dickson, which has some significant nonhuman (and pointedly nonhuman) characters -- dragons, wolves, the like -- and Mouse Guard, which is a comic like a less kid-friendly Redwall. There are also the books of Richard Adams -- Traveller, Watership Down, The Plague Dogs, though I'm not sure whether you'd count those as fantasy, even though Watership Down has all that gorgeous mythology and dream-walking. I guess gods and Endless would count as "hyper-human" in a way.

Props for the dwarves -- I'm totally with you on that.
