This issue of course, is writing it in the context of CoC II. I don't think any of the writers are capable of writing a non-human intelligence in any sort of meaningful way without it instantly breaking immersion and reverting back into cosplay. I myself would struggle to write something of that caliber. Not saying that's impossible to do, but in the context of adding it to a game with all the work that entails, I can see maybe one or two characters or races acting like that.I mean, if we're going to say I have propositions
Hot take I also want monster ppl to act like monster ppl not ppl playing cosplay, you know what I mean? Its not the Horse-talk talking, I'm bored with writers and game divs, creating these monster people. And they're just people with animal faces. It's there's nothing that is otherworldly about them. You know what I mean like? Why does the lizard man think like a human being? He should think like a lizard that is on human intelligence. That doesn't mean he's going to think like a human. He's just using a higher form of thinking. That's barely displayed. You have to go into specific literature to find that type of shit.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.

When you say a lizard man should think like a lizard, what exactly are we talking about here? There's a variety of different lizards with varying degrees of intelligence. For example, monitor lizards are so intelligent that you can actually train them like you would a dog. I guess we could say that lizard thinking is like the old theory of the "lizard brain", basal thoughts with an emphasis in instinctual behaviors like aggression, dominance, territoriality, etc.
I do sort of see your point though. I would like a bit more variety on how the different races think. We sort of get a smidge of this with the Kitsune, but not really? Mostly because it's not really due to their species that they think the way they do but their culture. Hmm... Now you got me curious as to how the races we got in game could vary in the way they think and perceive the world.
