Some hypothetical explanations of the Taru race I gathered over time :
- Tarutarus are exactly what they appear to be : brown-nosing children. Windurst is a penal institution for juvinile suck-ups.
- Tarutarus are Elvaan, as demonstrated by their Elvaan ears - just with a (different?) growth deficiency. Whether this is the cause of physical mutation or improper medication (it is rumored Elvaan use various experimental growth stimulants, especially those that increase their ears, neck and ... eh ... yeah) is unknown.
- Tarutarus come from a galaxy far far away - the Star Wars galaxy, that is. They're shaven Ewoks.
- Tarutarus were designed by the great Goddess as lackey-annex-footstool combos : for her own enjoyment, she gave them a childish psyche. The other ancestral races, taking pity on the fate of the poor misguided creatures, decided to ask the Goddess to set them free (a decision their offspring regrets to this day). A vast portion of the Mithra felines were instated as guards-annex-babysitters.
Got a million more.
