    To yank the thread back to some form of its rails >_> what do you guys think, would Au Ra be cold or warm blooded? It depends entirely on what creature they're based off of, but whether demonic or reptilian I think it could work in either case. Visions of trips to Ul'dah ending up with super hyper Au Ra crop up in my mind... Apologies on if this has been discussed before in the thread, it's gigantic and I did my best to look through :3

    Given their general skin tones and biology (scales aside), they must be warm-blooded. Despite the scales and tail, in the main they are fairly clearly mammalian.

    Always remember, please be careful.

    I'd also asume Warm bloodes as Steeps and Moutan Vallys can get deadly cold for reptilian cratures in winter. (Of course Dragons are an exception with the whole "inner fire" thing so I'd wadger dragons are more prone to water than ice.)

    Why is everyone even stating them es reptilians? Dragons, sure, okay, I understand that, but (sorry, I didn't bother reading all 90 pages) weren't they confirmed to be more demonic than draconic?

    There has been no confirmation for or against. YoshiP stated while making a xaela that the theme is devil, but he could have been talking about the characrer he was in the middle of making. Lore just says that their relationship to dragons is disputed by scholars.

    They were. Kinda. I seem to remember it was said in one or two interviews (couldn't tell you which though), but according to their lore on the heavensward page it's still debated by scholars. And since we haven't seen any OTHER official lore to settle the matter definitively for us *cough*namingconventions*cough* one could speculate either way. Besides...they look rather draconic no?

    I look at this this way- females have boobs. That is a mammalian thing. Mammals have mammary glands and nurse their young/give live birth. Reptiles don't have boobs, nor do birds. If dragons are not strictly reptilian but their own category (like the platypus or something) then that could be a thing. Demons could probably be anything though.

    Naming conventions are up! No help with the dragon vs demon speculation though...
