Gria



The Gria (グリア) are a dragon-like race from Ivalice, first introduced in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. Since they are only seen in Jylland, it can be assumed they are native to this region. All Gria depicted are female.

Physiology
The Gria are a small-bodied draconian race, complete with dragon wings, tail, and horns. The Gria are more proficient in physical attacks rather than magick in combat. Their ability to fly seems to allow them to ignore the Jump stat, giving them an advantage in areas with high terrain, and allowing them to easily get behind units, as they can simply fly over them rather than try to walk around them. And unlike units equipped with Faerie Shoes, which use teleportation to ignore the Jump stat in a similar fashion, Gria are immune to falling damage; If they are knocked off a high cliff, the Gria will use their wings to slow the descent.

Note that the Gria are not to be mistaken with the Aegyl.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
They have four known Jobs, the Ravager, Hunter, Geomancer, and Raptor. Also, due to their wings, they can fly at will, ignoring terrain, so equipping a Gria with Faerie Boots or Galmia Shoes is useless. Equipped with Ninja Tabi, they can become a very mobile force on the battlefield. This race's class range is fairly well rounded, being comprised of two Warrior-like Jobs, one long range Job, and one magic Job. However, their effectiveness is reduced by the fact that the player usually finds them last and before Seeq units.

Prominent Gria in the game include Mayhew and Lili of Prima Donna and Loa of House Bowen.

Grias can be obtained in these locations during Emberleaf or Plumfrost:


 * Fluorgis - Hunter, Raptor
 * Zedlei Forest - Ravager, Geomancer

Trivia

 * Grias can only be obtained at the Zedlei Forest if the Ravager and Geomancer jobs are unlocked.
