Ronso

In Final Fantasy X, a video game for the Playstation 2, the Ronso are a race of lion-like humanoids who live on Mt. Gagazet.

History of the Ronso
The Ronso came into being at some point in time during Sin's 1000 year reign of terror. Ronso culture is communal, in that every individual is part of a whole (attested by all adopting Ronso as their family name). Unity and pride is very important to the Ronso tribe. Losing a fight or your horn is a great dishonor. Size also matters in the tribe. Ronso adults usually top out around 10 to 14 feet in height (females usually 1 or 2 feet shorter), with their horns at 1 foot long. There are, however, exceptions. Kimahri Ronso, Yuna's guardian, was shorter than average Ronso, at 8 feet tall, and his horn was broken off in a fight when he was yound with Yenke and Biran Ronso.

The Fall and Rise of the Ronso
Near the end of Final Fantasy X, Seymour Guado, in his undead, transformed state, ravaged through Mt. Gagazet and killed all in his path in pursuit of Yuna. The tribe was all but obliterated, with only a handful of Ronso, including Kimahri, surviving. After the start of the Eternal Calm, Kimahri returned to Gagazet to help rebuild his home and restore his people's honor. He was named elder of the tribe by his kinsmen, and has been on Gagazet ever since.

Filled with hatred for the slaughter of their people, Ronso despised the Guado. During Final Fantasy X-2 (depending in the game on your actions), a young Ronso named Garik (only if you don't stop him) led an attack against the Guado in Macalania Woods, OR (if you stop him) was thwarted in his plans of rebellion by Yuna, Rikku and Paine of the Gullwings.
