📋 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:
-
[]Dagi/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.”
[
]Cathay-Raht- "Khajiit of this furstock were nicknamed as 'jaguar-men' by the Imperial Geographical Society."[]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."
[]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."
[]Pahmar/Pahmar-Raht- "Due to them being the strongest of furstocks, they are usually deployed as bodyguards and warriors... they resemble Senche-Tigers."
[]Suthay/Suthay-Raht- "They are similar in height and build to the races of man, but [...] they have digitigrade legs. The Suthay-raht furstock was the most common in Morrowind near the end of the Third Era."
- 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."
