TaruTaru The TaruTaru are a 'cute' race, who are one of the Tank races, they are cat-like, small people. Their offensive power is in their ability to use magic. This race is suited for the back row in battle, and for using magic on the enemy. They live in the Federation of Windurst, hence their skill with magic.

Mithra This race is the 'cutest' of all. They are smaller, and more agile than the TaruTaru , and can only be played as a female. The male Mithra are non-playable, and remain in Windurst - The TaruTaru's home - for the entirety of the game. The Mithra are a very fast race, they have very high Dexterity and Agility, but are somewhat lacking in the area of Intelligence, although this is made up for by their high Strength stat. Mithra make good thieves.

Galka The Galka race can only be played as males. They have very high Strength and Vitality, but have low speed and Intelligence. The Galka also live in Bastok.
