Taroots have limited history. Because of their population entirely relying on random chance, their species members are few and social connections are rare. Only a few hundred years ago did taroots begin to sneak into the cities, before then, the only records were tion owners killing "diseased" pups from their pet's litter or taxonomists labeling taroots as a wild "alpha tion". They were unwanted by breeders and viewed as a threatning carnivore in the wild.

Over time, taroots followed their curiosity into settlements, where they often killed because they stole food scraps or ate pets. Their intelligence was not discovered until a scientist caged up a taroot found in Bivnix. A pup of a domestic tion, the breeder had chosen to let it live and the taroot learned to speak from the owner. For whatever reason, the breeder kept their "speaking tion" a secret, until it escaped one night chasing animals. The scientist captured the taroot believing it was an "alpha tion" and wanted a chance to take notes on it before they put it back into the forest.

Word spread quickly of the scientist's publishing about the extra-large, talking tion they had captured. Many Zuannians came to see the mysterious tion, believing it was a well-trained creature with a spell of translation perhaps, but what many found horrified them.

Not the taroot, it did not frighten them, but its treatment. If this creature could speak, it could hold a conversation, it cried and said it wanted to go home to its mommy. It had complex emotions and seethed in cowardice with so many eyes on it everyday. By the decision of many, it was let free and it returned to whatever home it came from- but this was only the beginning.

Still confused on how to classify the creature, it was renamed to "tinous aelstic" - "the taroot", meaning "tion with aura". With how fast news spread, curious taroots spotted in settlements and cities were no longer killed or relocated. Many kind individuals ushered them into their homes to share food and conversations, but they soon realized that wild ones did not know how to speak.

Planned education began. Any from domestic litters were taught the basics by the owner or sent away to the nearest school to handle. However, had news not reached an area or the owner did not care, taroots were often still killed early on.

Educating the few taroots from domestics was easy, they were truly intelligent creatures that deserved a place in society. But the wild ones were a complex matter. It was decided that wild taroots were intelligent enough to make their own decisions. If one comes into a town, it can choose to stay or leave. Taroots that stayed in settlements usually learned basic speech and morals on their own, just by observing and listening.

Taroots are still a rare species to see, but they are recognized by law in all territories as "people" and must be respected as such. Only in uncontrolled areas do taroot views vary. For they are a byproduct of wild aura, not a Cardinal, are they really "people" and not an estranged feral animal?

• Their scientific name can be broken down into two parts, as their existence amongst other species is odd even to aura-based evolutionary laws. "ferus tinous" is the first part to "ferus tinous domesticus", which is the average feral or tamed tion, whereas "aelstic" means "of magic and aura".
• While taroots are uncommon in general, alpha-skulls are even rare. Alpha-skulls have sharper, spear-head skulls and four eye-sockets. They are almost always taller than the average taroot too. These alpha-skulls are respected as strong leaders, all tions and other taroots follow their commands if they are around.
• Taroots survive best in the environment where they were born but can withstand warm, temperate, and mildly cold temperatures. Taroots that came from arctic tions are usually comfortable in colder places, taroots born from forest tions in temperate, and those born from desert tions obviously are better suited to warmer zones. However, they are intelligent enough to make or buy clothing to handle colder places if they are not accustomed to it.
• Clothing and accessories depend on where they live and their culture. Taroots can adorn themselves in whatever they want. like other sapient species, clothing is used to withstand weather and to look beautiful in the eyes of others. taroots can wear jewelry, accessories, fabrics, piercings, and can use body paint too.
