Something I noticed in the Fractal Continuum...

My theory is that Garuda was an Allagan too. I also suspect the 'Lord of Serpents' or whatever it was from the Garuda mythos was a Chimeric construct.

As for the other beast tribes, I think some of them are the result of Allagan manipulation but not all. I think one of the FATEs in Azys Lla actually indicates that the chimeric creatures you are fighting seem to be a merge involving a lizard like beast tribe who lives in southern Othard, plus we know that Sephirot was worshipped by a plant like beast tribe. Considering they had the key, I think the Vanu Vanu are definitely candidates for Allagan created.

To be honest, Miqote are high on my suspect list for possible Allagan created races too. Its very likely that Allagans created Chimeric species for domestic purposes as well as war ones and creating a servant race would fit. It would also explain a lot of the cat like behaviour that Miqote culture seems to share.

"Who made God? : allagans" xD

I really dont think that. I have some suspicions on the Vanu Vanu, but there is no strong evidence to suport this, only a tinny little key and that still not very conclusive.

I suspect the Raptoids on Azys la were created by testing different times of beast tribe creatues ( Was not that already confirmed? )

That the miqote were allagan made I think is ridiculus, sorry. Until we get solid info non of the spoken races were allagan made. Just because Miqotes lived on Meracydia that doesnt make then allagan creations

My theory is that Garuda was an Allagan too. I also suspect the 'Lord of Serpents' or whatever it was from the Garuda mythos was a Chimeric construct.

At this point I'm more incline to consider the Lord of Serpents to be a Dragon... Perhaps even Midgardsormr himself, since we have absolutely no account of what he was doing during the Allagans reign. Given he survived the Battle of Silvertear Skies, I'm incline to think he could survive a fight with the Allag and a little nom-ing from proto-Garuda... Thordan does give us a prime example of people eating a Dragon and becoming slightly... power hungry...

With the Ixali being Allagan constructs, specifically working on repairing stuff like airships (hence their modern day affiliation with them)... I can picture a scenario in which a female Allag general/whatever lead a battle against Midgardsormr, similar to Silvertear Skies, with Midgardsormr trying to prevent flight. That's what the Lord of Serpents was said to have done, although it was for all creatures, not for airships. Fight ends much the same as Silvertear Skies, "Garuda" survives, as do a group of Iksalion. Those Iksalion venerate "Garuda" and become the ancestors for the Ixali.

I'm perhaps just trying to tie up two gaps there though... It bugs me that Middy is seemingly missing during Allag times, more so given where Crystal Tower is... If "Garuda" defeated him the same way Garlemald did, though? And a group of Iksalion were left in Mor Dhona, perhaps heading east to West Shroud... It depends where Ixali history starts, I suppose... If Ixali mythology goes as far back as Iksalion, then we have to tie it with Allagan history, if it starts after the Allag have gone, then we can't. My alternative, given the Vanu Vanus knowledge of Azys Lla (they warn us not to go there, they even held the Key), and their use of sanuwa, which are serpents, has me thinking the Ixali and Vanu clashed in the distant past. That gives no figure for who "Garuda" could be, though.
