Tauri
Tauri
Another of the almost indescribable monsters of Vana'diel, the Tauri resemble bulls, but only loosely. The Tauri are somewhat of an amalgamation of other creatures of Vana'diel: 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. These monsters are horrific, attempting to kill any who come too 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.

Historical Background[]

Taurus is Latin for "Bull" (Tauri would be the plural form in Latin). The name more then likely originates from the large bull like horns found on all Tauri.
