Being that the Padjal exist few in number, but there are players who would like the Padjal as a playable race, both issues may be remedied by creating a quest that enables one to become a Padjal.

Following the White Mage lore, this Padjal quest can occur after the "Chorus of Cataclysm". The lore for this optional Padjal quest could explain how Padjal come into existence, by either changing whatever current race the player is during the quest into a Padjal or allowing the player to select a type of horns/antlers onto their current race. The change can done via Character Creation after the Padjal quest with a special item, just as most of us who used the Fantasia drink from the Rank 1 Veteran Rewards.
