Races

The story of the first Crystal Chronicles (I haven't played the DS one yet) wasn't really a high point. One thing I always found interesting, however, was the races and their different places in society. Like what makes the Clavats so well-suited for farming? They're just humans. The Lilties are strong, you'd think they'd be the ones good at manual labour like that. But they're the dominant race in the game. Or, at least, they were. And what about the Selkies? They're thieves or something, right? Who stuck them on that little island? The Lilties maybe? Then there's the Yukes, who are just odd. As far as anyone can tell, they're made entirely of magic. :P How did they originate then?

One race people often overlook is the Moogles. They're few and far between. On a side note about them, how does Stiltzkin tie his bandanna thing without hands? xD

Anyway, discuss the weird races of FF CC.
