    I haven't stumbled across an explanation of exactly what they are, but properties they have include being aspected to the aetherial elements, feeding on aetherial concentrations, becoming corrupted themselves by consuming corrupted aether, possessing a core that temporarily holds a strong manifestation of that element, generation of luminous crystals, and at least semi-sentience that results in attacking passers-by and activities that are deemed "mischievous." They sometimes seem to generate on their own in the field, sometimes are summoned by magick. Would these not also seem to be aetheric beings of some kind?
    By this definition they sound very similar to Primals in nature, although being "mischievous" moreso than malicious in the case of Garuda, and to a lesser extent, Ifrit. (hard to tell which is worse though honestly. One is batshit crazy while the other wants his followers to kidnap people and convert them into thralls)

    2.2 will finally reveal Leviathan so we'll see what kind of personality (s)he has. The Sahagin seem to have always been very hostile towards the people in Limsa Lominsa, but I wonder if this was always the case or if there's another side to the story as there was with the Kobolds.
