Qu is a creature type introduced for Final Fantasy on the card Quina, Qu Gourmet. It is used to represent the genderless species of gourmands from the world of Final Fantasy IX.

Description

Qu is a Final Fantasy Universes Beyond crossover type. The Qu are notable for their long tongues, which hang from their mouths. They are humanoid in shape and often dress like chefs. The type was introduced because the design team could not find any existing creature type that properly explained what Quina was and also could not find any job that was part Blue Mage, part Chef, and that fit Quina. Thus they eventually decided - both in the spirit of collaboration and accuracy - that they would introduce the "Qu" creature type to represent how unique Quina is.[1]

Lore

Of the few Qu seen in Final Fantasy IX, all desire to discover and eat new foods, materializing in a study called the "Way of the Gourmand". While they are happy to eat almost anything, the Qu have a particular fondness for frogs. Within the game, this allows Quina to obtain their ultimate weapon from the frog catching minigame.
