    Poroggo

    OK do we have anymore information on them I know in FF11 they are beast tribe but are they in FF14? Did I miss something the reason why I ask is because the fiend was worshipped by tree like beings which we haven't seen yet but most are speculating that it could be a the tree like creature using the omnirod in the dungeon. That enemy was release in the patch before 3.2. Now we see the poroggo in a 3.2 dungeon. Could it be a possible that they are the ones that worship the Goddess.

    In XIV, Poroggo were born as regular old toads, but enchanted to become something else. Sharlayan refers to these as familiars and there are a few types that we've seen so far (the Skatane are the same, as far as I know).

    What I don't know is how you'd classify them post-enchantment.

    Is a toad still a wavekin once it has intelligence? Does temporary intelligence not count? Is it now a soulkin because an "invasive, secondary force" (the mage's intent) has influence over its will? Hells if I know.

    They aren't a beast tribe in FFXI. They've got a background, but they aren't beastmen, they're frogs enhanced by magic.

    Maybe, but they're not beastmen. Their background in FFXI is actually similar to that of FFXIV. They were created back in the Shadowreign by Windurst.

    If I'm right FFXI Poroggos were an unintended result by some experements done by mages in Windhurst. With an old folk lore that kind of loosely but not accurately explains how they were created and wound up in Aht Urgan as they were assumed to have been wiped out during the war. But are still considered beastmen.

    In FFXIV if I understood it they are the equivalent to familiars (the witch kind) created by enchanting them in a manner similar to how the brooms are given life. Used as servents, guards, and the equivalent of your house Moogle in FFXI. After the Sharlians left abruptly thuss leaving everything behind. The Porrogos, Cait Sitth and Stolas (in theory) eventually would become feral as the lack of contact to other sentient beings causes their minds to regress. However Cait Sitth so far seems to be the exception to the rule if he/she was created using the same magics. (also would be really old).

    Challenging Seika in triple triad can occasionally drop a Poroggo Card that has the general lore info for them.
