[@Dieci-9]

As a Male Au Ra I stand completely by what you said regarding horns being connected with the face and the animations. I...I just want my Male Au Ra to have the same animations that the Male Mikotes have. Mainly because as soon as I'm not wearing stuff that is skin tight, everything starts clipping through everything.

[@MenrvaS]

Idk why a female Xaela with human skin tone is perfect for a lot of glamour style…… or may be I’m biased because i’m one.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

No no, you got a point

[@lemnlyme]

ME TOO HELP

[@Stickarms99]

they're the best looking female race right next to miqo, hands down. imo

[@meakimon]

Yeah it's also funny that au ra was conceptualised around voidsent, not dragons. They used to look much more demonic in the concept art. Dang the concept art was cool! 😂

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

The concept art was cool, but I think they would suffer the same way as Viera and Hrothgar

[@Werepyres]

@@SamTheLemonBoy In what way is that? (new to this game)

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

@@Werepyres they would not be able to wear majority head pieces

[@BroadwayRonMexico]

There were two early concept arts for them. The first were 100% draconic (they looked like Argonians with different horns), and the second were bascially succubi. They ended up going with something more human-looking than either early concept, but with the other elements being something kinda ambiguously reptilian or voidsent (but not actually being either)

[@leonie7754]

I play Au'ra because I like dragon girls. Very niche reason, though I fantasia'd to one literally the day HW launched - literally the day they first came out XD and i've never looked back. Usually the things I like aren't popular, so it's funny to see the race is second popular to catgirls. Shame no love for the scaly boys though; they are my favourite male race.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Male Au Ra are really cool but yeah their stereotype and animations kinda turn people off from doing that shit, but overall I think they are pretty cool, both male and female

[@squidpaladin]

go make a male au ra and cast sprint, you will see why they don't exist

[@leonie7754]

@@squidpaladin I'm ok with it. I like the triangular body shape.

[@squidpaladin]

@@leonie7754 it's not the body shape so much as the animation lol

[@uwu-cx2yc]

The male au ra /blush emote is very animated & happy compared to the other boys' (seriously it's so cute I keep pausing at his shy smile 🥹), & they're the only boy to giggle evilly when they use /think - their /examineself & /laugh are also like cartoon villains' XD their emotes do a great job of diffusing the edge, especially the happy ones! Whenever he gets sad/smiles sadly he looks so sweet, like a facade had just dropped 🥺 One of my best experience ever is making a cute/hot m!au ra (face 1 has this Squirtle smile :> & hot /sneer), & then realizing how thicc their thighs are compared to almost all the girls & slenderer guys- I-😳

[@crowdemon_archives]

That one moment in EW, or rather, *after*. 😅 My ManRa just went from "extremely violated AAAAAAAAA" to "I'm back! >:D"

[@Enderlinkpawnu]

I must be a rarer breed of fem ra player for I 1. Have a max height female au ra 2. Use the fin horns (which are like, the second rarest of the horn options from my experience) 3. even if they delink the faces from the horns, I won’t change a thing about my character. I have come to accept that 95% of the emotions she feels is “silently waiting for the moment to kill you.”

[@cola_dreams]

For the record, male Raen Au Ra have blue tongues.

[@TheMistressMisery]

Been playing for a few years now, and my as-tall-as-they-get, big-horned female raen has been my fav girl. When I first made her, the big horns weren't that popular, everyone wanted the sleek backwards, or tsundere-faced forward facing horns. I refuse to acknowledge the flat horns...that face....*shudders* Anyway, nowadays, seeing so many wandering around with the big horns makes me happy, it really is the best face, you either get THE best RBF in the game (imo), or the kindest looking face. No in between. I picked RBF.

[@swordpetals]

As a fellow big horned fem au'ra player ive also noticed more people using them. It makes my little happy to see them out there and the cool aesthetics some have :) Hands down my favorite face of all the races, just wish we could select the horns just how bunnies can pick their ears

[@absollum]

When i first got the game, I was looking through the races, and the Au Ra instantly grabbed me. I didn't even know they existed prior to playing, but I knew exactly what I was going to play. I only picked femRa because maleRa only have one good face option, and it's tied to the worse horns(face #3). I hope Square does eventually decouple the horns and face options.

[@luckyday5721]

I started as an Elezen but after trying a bunch of the races both male and female Au ra are my favorites to play and I go back and forth. When i play male Au ra i become actively more goofy and light hearted despite the serious appearance and when I play female Au ra I actually do more serious content and as such portray them as being more serious become most big fights I happen to be female au ra so more used to knowing that hitbox. Play what you enjoy and let any who complain keep shouting to no one.

[@johnsaunders7257]

I'm here for the bangin soundtrack 😂

[@volkspanzer8444]

Au Ra are one of those uncomfortable design choices conceptually -- not exactly the appeal of an anime humanoid with reptilian bits on them, and not the full-on commitment of something like a dragonborn, lizardfolk, or argonian. Just these awkward cosplayers with scales glued on their body at odd areas.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

They do have some awkwardness in terms of design but I suppose people kinda brushed it off because they think they're hot

[@uwu-cx2yc]

For male au ra at least while they are just humanized/himbofied argonians, they have weird body proportions (like tiny waist, long-ish torso, huge unga bunga arms, extra thick thighs with spindly legs) that are humanly impossible & make them look cartoonier (which I really like) than most of the slenderer humanoid races

[@crowdemon_archives]

Yea if I'm going to give my WoL a bit of a redesign, I'm giving him *more scales*. He can become a crocodile or something instead 😅

[@NoxAevitas]

This is a reactional typing of the Au Ra Experience. I went from male lalafell to female Xaela. I chose the smallest height option because it was roughly twice the size of my lalafell. Tails. . . tails... mm Horns are tied to the face and not seperate was immensly painful, fortunatetely face 4 is nice on face and horn for me. Xaela? Crazy? No idea what you mean. Auri voices. Yes. Moving on, I am a dragon girl and you cannot change my mind in that fact. Showing off? I have no idea what you mean. I didn't swap to auri because I wanted to see my ultimate weapons and glamour more BIG or something. I'm not batshit crazy I swear! My vote that does not matter on the accuracy of this video: 10/10 auri exist to be f- I mean fun and loved, with a sprinkle of crazy or the most hardcore RPer.
