Sex between the Races Lore?

I wouldn't take mythical dragons as an indication of real dragons having existed until you can prove that we've had real dragons on Earth at some point.

Unfortunately that item description only states, "A popular >>>theory<<< is that Odin acquired the blade upon slaying an Auri warrior who was the first ever to notch his theretofore unsullied plate."

So not even that is concrete. :3 The speculation continues!

Evidently though, Odyn’s been that far so there’s credence to Auri already existing before the Allagan Empire did. XD

Even if they were Allagan creations though, I would think dragons crossed with Hyur to be more likely because their appearance is more obviously like dragons. No one ever calls them demons, and no Voidsent have scales like theirs. The tails, however, do look a lot like some tails used on various dragons (the spaded tail definitely looks like a thinner version of Mount Form Midgardsormer’s, I noticed whenever I’m riding him). Also worth noting after checking so photos on all confirmed voidsent that none of them have tails like Au Ra (the ones with spaded tails have them completely smooth while more lizard-like tails all look segmented rather than scaled). Some horn textures are similar, but the same applies to dragons and many creatures with horns. The only one I can distinctly see scales on is Muud Suud, and even then, the type and arrangement isn’t quite the same (though they are notably created from summoning voidsent into the corpses of fallen Highlander and Hellsguard). Dahrak do interestingly have their horns positioned similarly to Au Ra though, but they are notably also possessed and then horribly mutated dragon corpses.

While these all make for interesting speculation, I feel like the emphasis on Auri looking at least outwardly draconic and nothing about looking demonic makes Voidsent a LOT less likely.

I did say this is Final Fantasy, didn’t I? >;P

I also mentioned it could be they just came up with it the same way individual cultures irl did as well, but because dragons exist in FFXIV and the powerful ones could travel between worlds (and thus possibly world hop), that leaves the possibility of some member of the First Brood at least showing up and providing inspiration.
