If you could be a different Khajiit Furstock, which would you be?

Gidorick

Currently, we can all create Cathay Khajiit... but what if we could create Khajiit of a different Furstock, which would you create?

Descriptions in the poll.

Well dang... bold doesn't work in Poll responses. That's annoying.

[b]Tojay[/b]: A smaller, agile, magical breed of Khajiit. Similar to Suthay in stature but possibly more mer-like features. Digitigrade feet.

I chose Tojay because, as much as I like Cathay Khajiit, I like my cat people to be a bit more on the people side of things:

Abeille

[b]Tojay-Raht[/b]: A bit larger than the Tojay. Plantigrade Feet.

Why must you make me pick, @Gidorick ?

Probably Tojay or Tojay-raht just out of curiosity, since there is not much lore about them as far as I know. Do we even know if they are plantigrade or digitgrade, though? I don't think I ever read that information about the Tojay and the Tojay-raht.

I would like to play as Suthay-raht, too. Gives me some Morrowind nostalgia.

[b]Cathay-Raht[/b]: a larger, more ferocious Khajiit. Visually similar to werewolfs in stature. Likely with Digitigrade feet.

Which ever this one is I picked that looks like Thundercats

Ack not sure but I always preferred the digitigrade look that morrowind had for the beast races they were well done if only it had proper footwear for that style instead of forcing them to go barefoot like in this mod that overhauls the beast races (still a WIP): http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/74833/?

No four legged variety?

The bigger the better! I love imposing huge characters.

Kendaric

[b]Cathay-Raht[/b]: a larger, more ferocious Khajiit. Visually similar to werewolfs in stature. Likely with Digitigrade feet.

As I had to choose only one, it's Cathay-Raht for me. I'd also love to see Suthay & Suthay-Raht.

[b]Cathay-Raht[/b]: a larger, more ferocious Khajiit. Visually similar to werewolfs in stature. Likely with Digitigrade feet.

Cathay-raht for my main nightblade, he's meant to be a big imposing warrior style khajiit (honestly only went with nightblade as class because they get the most boosts to weapons through passives, I mostly use weapon skill line abilities on him).

My female khajiit dragonknight would probably be a suthay, or possibly a dagi (dagi/dagi-raht are supposedly like the suthay, but more primal/savage looking, more lithe, and shorter).

Not sure on my khajiit sorceror, probably tojay or tojay-raht

[b]Cathay-Raht[/b]: a larger, more ferocious Khajiit. Visually similar to werewolfs in stature. Likely with Digitigrade feet.

Men'Do was born somewhere around the moons of the Cathay or the moons of the Cathay-Raht, but his mother never told him!! Judging by size is no help, for he is pretty tall for one and pretty short for the other. May no Khajiit be so unfortunate as to not know their moons.

[b]Tojay-Raht[/b]: A bit larger than the Tojay. Plantigrade Feet.

Men'Do is his own furstock, like the Mane.

I actually made my khajiit nightblade to depict alfiq: quiet or unable to speak, still intelligent and propably talented in magic. And small. Obviously she's not size of a housecat nor four-legged. Tojay is closest of the options.

dodgehopper_ESO

I'd be interested in anything from Cathay-Raht, to Ohmes, Ohmes-raht, Tojay, and Tojay-raht, each for different reasons. Then again I'd like to have that kind fo choice with argonians. I'm pretty sure I'd pick the ones with the fish faces.

Betheny

I would have to choose this cat.





To introduce the need for cats to actually have to wear clothes.

captainwolfos

Alfiq. I'll sit on someone else's shoulder while they do all the work

No @phaneub17_ESO, for reasons that best for into the category "too far removed to be included" I don't think ZOS souls include quadrupled Player Characters.

Mostly, the issue with armor and having to make additional armor sets just for the guys on all fours makes would be quite a bit of work.

menedhyn

[b]Suthay[/b]: A smaller species of Khajiit, about the size of the Bosmer but are much more catlike. Digitigrade feet.

I opted for Suthay simply because i'm intrigued by the smaller fur stocks in general - that and the chance to have digitigrade feet. I guess I prefer my Khajiit to look more 'cat' and less 'human'.

Morimizo

[b]Cathay-Raht[/b]: a larger, more ferocious Khajiit. Visually similar to werewolfs in stature. Likely with Digitigrade feet.

Can this one just be Sleepy Senche, full on moon sugar-snarfing, plump mice?

But if vile intruder would dare disturb this one's nap, Cathay-Raht would handle the expulsion details.

According to The Elder Scrolls: Legends, the Dagi and Pahmar are both two legged.

Shader_Shibes

Most likely Suthay. I prefer my characters to be diminutive.

Daraugh

Dagi or Dagi-raht, or possibly Alfiq, then I could be the ultimate spy! Of course, I'd just get every possible character slot so I could have all of them in the end, then I'd curl up on a piece of paper and go to sleep.

GreenSoup2HoT

[b]Ohmes[/b]: a tail-less Khajiit breed. Pretty much a Bosmer body (without the antlers) and the skillset of a Khajiit. Plantigrade Feet.

Tojay is also a nice one. I've always wanted to be khajiit but i did miss the more human hybrid versions. Probably why im not one today.

Ra'Shtar

[b]Cathay-Raht[/b]: a larger, more ferocious Khajiit. Visually similar to werewolfs in stature. Likely with Digitigrade feet.

I wonder if Elseweyr comes out zos is gonna put more breeds of khajiit in the game.

Danikat

[b]Suthay-Raht[/b]: Taller than the Suthay. About the size of man. Digitigrade feet.

For my character I'm actually happy with Cathay, but I'd like to have digigrade feet, even with the restrictions on footwear.

When I first got into TES (with Morrowind) I read a description of the khajiit that used the term fur stocks for the different breeds and mentioned only 4 of them: the suthay-raht, the seche-tiger, the alfiq and the cathay-raht and only described the physical characteristics of the alfiq (housecat like) and cathay-raht (jaguar men), it also mentioned the suthay-raht were the most common. (I think this was in the manual but I'm not sure and can't find it to check.)

The character creator in Morrowind was very limited compared to later games - you only got to pick from a few pre-set faces and hair styles. For the khajiit that meant a plain brown face, a calico one, a jaguar-ish one and a tiger one. So naturally I combined this with the description I'd read and for a long time assumed the only difference between the khajiit breeds was the pattern and colour of their fur, and since I'd chosen the jaguar one my character was a cathay-raht. (This made my first reading of A Dance in Fire very confusing.)

I later learned that this didn't fit since my character is typically quite short and slim built. Suthay, suthay-raht or cathay would all work. (Not tojay because I like her to look more cat-like than mer with fur.)

More generally however what I'd really like is to have a variety of khajiit breeds to choose from. I think the ohmes have some interesting RP potential, especially outside of Elsyweyr where they're more likely to be mistaken for bosmer. Playing a cathay-raht could be fun too, it would be interesting to have a character that big and powerful who also tends more towards stealth than pure power in combat.

I'd also like to see some of the quadrupedal breeds included, although that seems unlikely to ever happen since it would be very complicated (not just the models and animations but making it work with the necessity of equipping gear, talking to people etc. etc.) for a very niche benefit. But I think it would be fun.

CherryCake

Oh wow thanks for this, I didnt even know the other existed!

ContraTempo

I like the idea of an alt that is a large quadrupedal Khajiit. Fast, tough, good at hand-to-hand. Can't use weapons but can serve as a mount to another player and can outrun non-mounted humanoids. I think it would be fun to try to coordinate this with another player, esp in PVP. I would only do this as an alt, not my main.

I don't really get this. I know a lot of people feel the same and mods for Skyrim could make Khajiit look like humans with kitty ears and a tail. But I don't get why you are playing a non-human if you really just want it to look like a human. I find the mer in ESO to all be far, far too human for my tastes. I think it should be starkly obvious from their look and their movement that they are not human, even if their ears are covered.

Tryxus

Probably Dagi, since I'm a magician And they are the magic cats

The Elder Scrolls: Legends is pretty far down the lore chain if it even is on the list at all IMHO, I do not put much stock to make lore claims. I trust Bethesda 1st for lore, than ESO as 2nd source. The Elder Scrolls: Legends not even on the list for lore claims.

Don't say that! Their Altmer card has black hair and I want to use that in my favor ç-ç

This is interesting, I think they all bring their own Unique spice to the class and i would have to opt for all
