📋 About This Mod

Khajiit are bound to the Lunar Lattice, the ja'Kha'jay. The phases of Masser and Secunda at birth determine the form a Khajiit takes in life.

-Jobasha, Interview with Three Booksellers

While Skyrim’s default, lynx-like Khajiit design suits its northern aesthetic, it doesn’t represent established Khajiit lore very well. Khajiit morphology is a really unique bit of worldbuilding that rarely gets used to its full potential (especially in the actual games.) So after finally getting comfortable with modding, I decided to make a mod that tries to add a little of that spice to Skyrim.

There are 17 different kinds of Khajiit- this mod currently includes 7 additional types to Skyrim's default Khajiit (which I consider Cathay.)

You'll see:

  • []Pahmar-Raht- "Due to them being the strongest of furstocks, they are usually deployed as bodyguards and warriors.... they resemble Senche-Tigers."

    []Cathay-Raht- "Khajiit of this furstock were nicknamed as 'jaguar-men' by the Imperial Geographical Society."

    []Tojay- "Little is known of the Tojay, except that they live in the southern marshes and jungle regions of Elsweyr, as well as the Tenmar Forest."

    []Ohmes-Raht- "In contrast to men and mer, the body of an Ohmes-raht is covered by light fur, and they do have a tail."

    []Ohmes- "They resemble Bosmer, though they are sometimes shorter. To avoid being mistaken as such, many Ohmes tattoo or paint their faces to resemble a feline aspect."

    []Dagi-Raht- "Physically, they have facial features that are comparable to that of lynxes and are short in stature, making them among the smallest of the

    furstocks.”

  • Suthay-Raht- "They are similar in height and build to the races of man, but like Suthay, they have digitigrade legs. The Suthay-raht furstock was the most common in Morrowind near the end of the Third Era."
