"Khajiit are commonly considered one of the beast folks, one of the few survivors of the original inhabitants of Tamriel before the coming of mer and man, and Elsweyr is their home." Khajiit are one of the ten default playable races in The Elder Scrolls.
Not to be confused with Cat. Female and male Khajiit in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. "Khajiit are commonly considered one of the beast folks, one of the few survivors of the original inhabitants of Tamriel before the coming of mer and man, and Elsweyr is their home."
Most games have only one breed of Khajiit in them. The Ohmes were the only breed present in Arena, the Ohmes-raht were the only breed to appear in Daggerfall, only the Suthay-raht could be found in Morrowind, while in both Oblivion and Skyrim, all Khajiit were of the Cathay breed.
Nirn 's moons, Masser and Secunda, map out the Khajiit's natal charts. The Khajiit, along with the Argonians, inhabited Tamriel long before the elves arrived (which could mean the two beast races are possibly native to Tamriel, unlike humans or mer, which migrated to Tamriel. However, some sources say life originated in Tamriel).
"I met a Khajiit named Zhasim who was raised as part of an Orc clan. An old pack within the ancient ruins inside Bonerock Cavern contained a Khajiit medallion. Could it be a clue to Zhasim's origin?"
The quest is initiated from an old pack within the puzzle chamber in Bonerock Cavern that leads to Bonerock Ruins. The Vestige may interact with it.
The pack contained a medallion etched with two moons that appears to be the work of a Khajiit crafter. I should show it to Zhasim
The main variants of Khajiit can be separated into four distinct groups, each depending on the phases of Nirn 's larger moon, Masser. Depending on the phase of Masser, the Khajiit will take on one of four main appearances. Within the four groups are more variants which depend on the phase of Nirn's smaller moon, Secunda.
There is some speculation as to how accurate this creation myth truly is. What is known is that Khajiit were present on Tamriel when the Ayleid first explored the region, presumably long before there was any established Bosmer kingdom.
The Khajiit religion, while quite different from that of men and mer, is still clearly derived from the old Aldmeri pantheon. The Khajiit creation myth includes references to powerful ancestor cats with strikingly familiar names. Their legends start with the original litter mates, Ahnurr and Fadomai ( Anu and Padomay ). These two gave birth to all of the great spiritual children, including Alkosh the first cat ( Akatosh ), Khenarthi ( Kynareth ), Magrus ( Magnus ), Mara, and S'rendarr ( Stendarr ). A second litter of children soon followed, including Merrunz ( Mehrunes Dagon ), Mafala ( Mephala ), and Sangiin ( Sanguine ), among others. Ahnurr did not want further children, but Fadomai was persuaded by her elder children to birth one more litter, this final group containing Azurah ( Azura ), Nirni ( Nirn ), and the moons. At this, Ahnurr became angry at Fadomai, who fled to the void, and birthed one last child, Lorkhaj ( Lorkhan ). Fadomai knew she was dying, her life having been drained by her birth, but she gave to Nirni a gift, that she would birth children of her own.
According to The Elder Scrolls Online developer Matt Firor, Khajiit were some of the original inhabitants of Tamriel. Khajiit, like many species of real-world cat, have penile spines. When in battle the Khajiit will pin their ears back and have a snarl/growl expression on their face just like real world cats.
Dagi – Larger in stature than the Alfiq, the Dagi are lanky, lightweight Khajiit that typically live atop the branches of trees. Dagi-raht – Only slightly larger than the Dagi, the Dagi-raht still live atop the branches of trees like their cousins. Unknown Third Moon.
They travel around selling their wares but are not usually trusted, due to the racial prejudice of many of the races in Tamriel, resulting possibly from the belief that most Khajiit are thieves.
This is thought to be voluntary, but is unconfirmed. Senche-raht – The Senche-raht is by far the largest of known Khajiit breeds, standing at twice the size of any Altmer. These Khajiit received the term "battlecats" for their use as steeds, though they are slower than their Senche counterparts.
