Beasts - Final Fantasy XVI Database

In-game Description

Animals whose evolution has been warped by exposure to aether, some gaining the ability to cast magicks. Unlike Bearers, however, they seem to have developed little aetherial tolerance, so it is not uncommon to encounter Akashic beasts in the vicinity of aetherfloods. Wild beasts are sometimes tamed by humans for use in warfare—the soldiers of Sanbreque having a particular fondness for those descendants of ancient dragons.
