Khajiit Physiology from Phases; Which in ESO?

MrAddled · October 2015

Ohmes, Ohmes-raht, Suthay-raht, Cathay-raht...
Basically which would be the kind in ESO. I keep looking at the Tojay since nothing is known, but speculated about being a bipedal form.
Cathay are the only ones that would fit besides the unknown Tojay.
Was hoping a developer would give their say for an presumably accurate response.

I think the devs aren't saying because they want the individual players to be able to say what their own is. Mine's a Cathay (maybe -raht) but some might want theirs to be a smaller Suthay or somesuch. The digitigrade legs may or may not be strictly a Suthay thing, from what I hear. Its hard to say, like a lot of lore about Khajiit.

wth did I just read

Robo_Hobo · October 2015

There is a dev quote saying Suthay-raht but...I don't buy it personally. As I'm sure you know, Suthay-raht is the Morrowind Khajiit (confirmed by bookseller Jobasha), Oblivion and Skyrim aren't confirmed, but they have plantigrade legs/feet while Morro's had digitigrade. It could be just dev resources (probably is) but even if that was the answer initially, it would be a good oppurtunity for them to have that be a different form - because otherwise, the only diff between Suthays and Cathays (and their raht variants) would be height.

Its generally accepted that Arena Khajiit are Ohmes and Daggerfall Ohmes-raht due to the similaity to their official descriptions.

So to answer your question: IMO Cathay, but a dev said Suthay-raht, I'll try to find the quote later. Khajiit are my favorite research topic so I love when people ask these things.

Oh yeah, you might like this mod collage I mixed together to make the different bipedal forms of khajiit, but keep in mind its mostly speculative (especially the tojay since we know nothing of them)

EDIT: Id go into my reasons for why I went with those interpretations but itd be a lot of writing, and I'm at work atm, I will later if you want though.

I agree with @Robo_Hobo in that despite the devs stating that they're Suthay-raht, I'd think they're Cathay-raht.

What I wanna know is if out of necessity I had to eat a khajit steak, is that cannibalistic?

MrAddled · November 2015

Busy and lost my password.
Khajiit are my favorite race, then Orc, Bosmer, and Argonian (not in any particular order).
Cannibalism is defined as eating your own race/species icontested. Hard not to see it as Not Cannibalism when covering anything sentient though.

Alright, thanks guys. Probably should've made this a discussion, but anyhow, it could just be said purely on height. Cathay makes the most sense, but Suthay makes sense too due to the fact they're nearly as short as Bosmer.

Anyway, you all have been a great help. You know who you are. 8 )

We are Cathay... without a doubt. Not Cathay-Raht, and definitely not Suthay-raht.

And I LOVE @Robo_Hobo's graphic.. but I made a slight tweak to it to fit my own personal idea of the races. Pretty much I think he has the Tojay and Tojay-Raht too tall.

I even added that image to my Thread for Suggestions for an eventual Khajiit Centric update: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/141710/suggestions-for-an-eventual-khajiit-centric-update/p1

Cathay. Cathay-Raht are far too tall to be the khajiit we are used to seeing. Possibly Suthay/raht but they just don't seem to fit as well jmo.

This one knows she has ears and knows she has a tail.

Beyond that Santie has not considered it too much. She is just glad her overbite is not like that of the orcs.
