Viera don't have any tails at all.

If Yugiri is a new race then it's likely to be the dragon-like one cause the devs kept talking about it in interviews and such.

Yup - Sounds to me its gonna be Bangaa: If some of you watched the cutscene, she spurts it out that she chose to hide her face cause in her region, people tend to shun them and blablabla..
--------------------
Taken from a wiki:

The bangaa are a lizard-like race [...]. They have long faces, scaly skin, and tough limbs. They have two long ears dangling from each side of their heads, leading people to call them "long-ears". Their sense of smell and hearing are exceptionally sharp. [...] but their vocal structure makes it difficult for them to cast incantations, limiting their use of magic.

Due to their capacity in brute force, the bangaa are generally considered to be the most physically prominent [...]
----------------------------
And since she seems to master the art of Stealth, I think it would fit perfectly.

TBH I can't wait more for Ninja class than this race ^^

But it in all seriousness it would seem that the ears are a little too low down for a rabbit, but I could be wrong.
Just hope its something completely different from what we have now.



Sadly thats what Yoshida wanted. Some sort of beastmen race or non-human, simply to create more of a variety (as most MMORPGs would offer)

By the way...the new race won't be Viangaa, so make sure you don't get your hopes up, Viangaa fans!

While there is nothing to stop Yoshida's team from re-imagining the Bangaa, Yugirii does not have a Bangaa's long snout. Unless of course she was the victim of a hate crime and they chopped it off.

Still hoping that the"ears" people are speculating on are actually eyes. We need more slug people. I need me a yoshi to ride.

Viera don't have tails....

1. It is confirmed there will be a new race introduced.

2. The story that came with Lady Yugiri sets the stage very much for the race being from her land.

3. Lady Yugiri is clearly a new race we have not seen, and is clearly not a bunny girl.

I took this pic in game, from the story. From this pic you can see clearly, Yugiri has a scaled tail (like some kind of serpent or dragon kin), also she has two large protrusions from her head that could be ears or horns possibly?

In anycase unless Viera grew snake tails, I doubt it is the bunny girl most people seem to think she is.
