The Loporrits are an Allied Society from the Endwalker (6.0) expansion. They are based in Bestways Burrow in Mare Lamentorum.

Lore

Eorzean myth tells of a curious wanderer known as Namingway, descended from an unknown people that traveled to the realm from the moon. The Loporrits appear to have much in common with that being of legend, though questions regarding their current whereabouts─and much else besides─remain unanswered.

The Loporrits were created by Hydaelyn as caretakers of the moon, which was designed as a starship. When the Final Days would come, the people of Etheirys would be evacuated to the moon where they would be cared for by the Loporrits while they searched for a new planet to live on. As such, the Loporrits have attempted to replicate the environment, food, and culture of Etheirys and provide appropriate residential quarters to its people, albeit with limited success. While Livingway is referred to with "she/her" pronouns and has a unique fur color, many other Loporrits are referred to as "they/them" in English by the game's writers, so it is unlikely that fur color is an example of sexual dimorphism in Loporrits. The only other example of an off-color Lopporit is a "they/them."

With the stop to the Final Days and the original purpose of the Loporrits made obsolete, they have searched for new goals to pursue, which are elaborated in the Loporrit Daily Quests and Cosmic Exploration questlines.

Additional Information

Loporrits are based on the Hummingways from Final Fantasy IV, being a race of small humanoid rabbits that live on the moon. The association of the Moon with rabbits is cultural and found both in southeast Asia and in native Amerindian cultures.
