Also, I want Gria.


Gria Samurai. 'Nuff said.
Lala's are based off of tarus, which are based off the child-like midget race from crystal chronicles. Padjal are based off of gria, and as others have all the rest of the races in xiv are variations of their xi counterparts. So I think its already pretty safe to say that it will very likely be based off of a pre-exisiting ff race. As for as "lizard-like" FF races go, Bangaa have been around in the FF mythos for a longtime.
