This is going to be pretty far out there butwhen finishing a side quest in the north-eastern quadrant that involved hunting chimeric creations as part of a hunt lab attendants did, the cube giving the quest ended the with the quest text that said something along the lines of "Next weeks hunt will be <buzz> and three Miqo'te <buzz>". I'm kicking myself for not writing down exactly what the quest text was but it raises some potentially interesting possibilities. After all Miqo'te are human with animal characteristics and we see Limia in the same zone so clearly crossing animals with humanoids was something the Allag did. Just to clarify, this entire zone was a area dedicated to research and development of chimeric creatures.
Basically what if Miqo'te were created on Azys Illa as a successful and stable chimeric race to be used as a servant race. The creations there were for civilian use as well as military. They could have been exported to Meracydia to serve Allag in the region prior to the collapse.
It would also go a huge way to explaining a certain Miqo'te Male from the Crystal Tower questline.
If anyone could clarify the exact quest text it would be awesome. Its the node quest giver closest to the Teleportation pad to the third island.
