Au Ra

Hailing from the Far Eastern continent of Othard, the Au Ra were rare in Eorzea until recently, when increasing unrest in their homeland forced a not-insignificant number to journey west as refugees. The curved horns and beautifully-patterned scales of the Au Ra often invite speculation that they are descended from dragons. This has long been disputed, with scholars citing distinct differences between the two as evidence against this. The enhanced hearing and spatial recognition granted by their horns are traits not found in draconian horns, and the extreme sexual dimorphism seen in the race is also widely unseen in dragons.
