The very short and very cute Tarutaru appear to be bred for the role of Mage. They have the highest Intelligence and MP pool, but suffer from weaker muscles and a smaller amount of HPs than the rest of the other races. Don't let this discourage you though! Many a great tale have been told of fearsome Tarutaru fighters roaming the lands.

Official Description:
The Tarutaru are a race of skilled magic users who call Windurst their home. Although the Tarutaru physically resemble children, their size does not reflect their age. Masters of the magical arts, the Tarutaru have honed their abilities through dutiful study of the world around them. Their dedication and hard work fueled the rapid reconstruction of Windurst after its destruction in the Crystal War. The Tarutaru enjoy a friendly relationship with the Mithra, who call Windurst their home as well.
