How do Au'ra hear?

Do their horns act like ears or do they have holes under their hair like lizards have on the side of their heads. I'm so confused.

IIRC, the answer was:"They pick up vibrations over their horns, which are hollow."

Bone vibration through the horns. Humans actually have something similar, which is why we can hear our own voice so clearly when we speak, and why it sounds so different to us than to everyone who hears it the normal way. So then of course one could very easily make the argument that the would sounds slightly different to Au Ra than it does to everyone else.

AuRa-lly

:D

How the hear is not one of tough questions about them.
There are other more intriguing questions about them.
Like how they sleep.
How they kiss if they kiss.
How they you know "relieve" their stress.
How they can wear clothes with scales and horns. (their attires seem the normal ones everyone has so no special designs for them).
Why they look so angry all the time.

They're angry because there are still far more generic cats than lizards out there.

Most of the Au Ra females I've seen look like they're about to cry.

The male Au Ra look angry. The female Au Ra look like they could break if a small dust particle fell on their nose or something.

I bet a nice tuning fork would be an amazing wake up call for them then.

I could imagine them using a pillow like geishas do - a small wooden block with a little pillow on top. They'd sleep on their back, placing their neck/head on the wooden block so that the horns wont touch the bed and would freely eh... hang in the air, kinda

How do Au Ra procreate without the size difference making it awkward, or is awkward love-making their curse?

Where are people still getting this idea that Au Ra is written with an apostrophe?

Not my fault there's a height difference of roughly 60 cm between males and females

My circle has agreed upon that despite the actual size of males, they're all of adequate proportions and are quite confident in themselves. Which didn't explained why so many females look as if they are perpetually displeased with life. They clearly look that way because they are.

Well how do lizards have kids? They lay eggs....!

Little Au Ra hatchlings must be so cute!

Well there is also the possibility of little Au Ra tadpoles!

Yes I realize the irony that me as Au Ra not knowing how we are born... My Au Ra parents never explained it to me how it works! :p

Au Ra are not lizards, just as Miqo'te are not cats. There is almost no chance whatsoever that any of the playable races in this game have anything but fairly ordinary human births.

AuRa have belly buttons.

Only replying to this one because I see it questioned a lot. As an individual that has a large height difference in comparison to her partner, my fiance being 6'1" and myself being 4'4", I assure you that height difference doesn't really matter in terms of procreating. Do it just like everyone else; maybe with a stool added for particular things but overall the same. :p

I become stressed out thinking about how Au Ra bloody sleep.

I don't think the Devs thought very hard when it came to how Au Ra would work in the world.

How the sleep depends on the horns. Most of the horns that stick out far from the head are forward pointing which would allow them to sleep on their backs. Others like mine are fairly close to the skull so with a soft enough pillow I reckon they could sleep on their side reasonably comfortably.

Alternatively they could sleep sat up. Allowing the base of the skull and horns to rest on to of the back cushions. This would be comfortable as long as you're used to sleeping like this.

I spend far too long thinking about these things.

Just drill 2 holes in your bed, put your horns there lol

It happened because when the race was first announced some guy on the forums here posted it incorrectly with an apostrophe when posting a topic about the Au Ra and then a bunch of people thought that is the way you spell it due to that one guys mistake.

Yeah, I know. I typed it that way too, but only for like, a month. People have had more than two years to get with the program.

Or how lizards hear. Google Image search, Lizard ears

It wouldn't be hard to imagine holes for ears underneath the horns.

No, the devs/lore actually outright stated at some point that their horns are auditory sensory organs, it wasn't speculation on their part.

/palm. What is wrong with giving your human race with animal attributes more animal attributes? Or will that make Au Ra too animal? Can't have that! Next FFXIV might get a werewolf race if they go that far!!! No more cat girl!

Perhaps try perceiving them as not a human race with animal attributes but an actual evolutionary branch of their own? And really... just holes in their heads is more interesting than the horns themselves serving as an auditory sensor? ARE NARWHALS JUST NOT COOL ENOUGH NOW!?

Last I checked, humans don't hear through their non-existent horns.

Boo. To be fair, I only skimmed the rest of the posts and stopped once I saw the height difference plus stool thing. >.>
