Tauri
Another of the almost indescribable monsters of Vana'diel, the Tauri resemble dinosaurs – but only loosely. In fact, upon inspection the Tauri are more of an amalgamation of other creatures of Vana'diel than anything. Their tails resemble that of a lizard, their horns that of a ram, their wings that of a bat and their claws that of a crab. Indeed, this could lead some to wonder whether perhaps these creatures are not even natural, but are created? Whether created by nature or nurture, these monsters are horrific by nature – attempting to kill any who come to close. Luckily for the explorers of Vana'diel, they can be found in only a few select locations.
For those who actually defeat these creatures, a horn and wing can sometimes be recovered – although neither is particularly demanded by crafters. Perhaps the most desired item sometimes carried by the Tauri is a Fomor Codex, which is said to contain the tragic history of the Fomors. While illegible, some might wonder why the Tauri carry copies – and whether they had anything to do with such a history.
