Do Au Ra have Forked Tongue

I'm not sure if this is the right section for this. But do Au Ra have Forked Tongues?



I know in some fiction, succubus and demons can also have Forked Tongues.



In Reptiles they use these Tongues to smell. A forked tongue allows them to sense from which direction a smell is coming.

I know there are some quests (NInja, White Mage, Dark Knight) that have Au Ra Npcs. Sadly I haven't done any of these yet.
Do these quests explain any additional facts about the Au Ra's Physiology or Apperance?

From what little can be made out no, this is not the case. I have not seen anything odd when my character opens her mouth and none of the quests deal with Au Ra physiology (well, DRK at least).

Strange question, though.

Ya sorry it was a little strange, me and a friend were talking about baby Pythons today and I was like "hey I wonder if my Au ra has a tongue like that..."

I think as far as the necessity of the forked tongue that many (if not most) reptiles possess would not be as vital to an Au Ra being as their Horns give them an echolocation like sixth sense that allows them to locate things in their surroundings.

So being as Au Ra have a form of Echolocation I'd personally say they would have normal tongues as there would be no need for the reptilian ability to "Smell" the air and possess echolocation as in most cases the echo location would likely be more potent and likely more useful due to the added details of Numbers, size, and distance as well as direction.

My head cannon imagines it working similar to the Byakugan from Naruto.

I read somewhere that we're of demon descent not lizards, snakes or dragons.

Aura are not related to Dragons. Their motif are demons.

I think a thick lizard tongue would be nicer . What about a blue tongue? Blue tongues are friendly.

Neither the White Mage or Ninja questlines for Heavensward mention any quirky Au Ra traits regarding physiology either. Honestly, they really don't explain much of either Au Ra physiology or culture, besides reinforcing the fact that being Xaela (or Au Ra in general, ambiguous wording ahoy) apparently sucks.

Keyword being motif. Meant to invoke the imagery of demons, rather than being descended from them.

Most likely not, though if they wanted one, I'm sure there's a body modification shop in Eorzea willing to do it, just like there are in Real Life:

(Personally I didn't find the google image search of this disturbing, but considering there are pictures of the procedure in progress, it can be unsettling to see if you're sensitive to such things)
