Khajiit

The Khajiit are a species within the land of Tamriel in The Elder Scrolls video game series. They usually resemble humanoid cat-people, and as a result are popular with furries.
Fanworks featuring Khajiit range from Skyrim mods adding their homeland Elsweyr, to fanart of player character OCs.
==Canon==
Khajiit come from the region of Elsweyr on Tamriel's south coast.
===Furstock===
Khajiit have varying body types and sizes, with each distinct variation being known as a furstock. There are 17 different furstocks, and each individual's furstock is based on the phases of the moon in which they were born under: Alfiq, Alfiq-raht, Cathay, Cathay-raht, Dagi, Dagi-raht, Ohmes, Ohmes-raht, Pahmer, Pahmer-raht, Senche, Senche-raht, Suthay, Suthay-raht, Tojay, Tojay-raht, and the Mane.
The Khajiit furstocks include a range of variations on the idea of anthropomorphic cat people: the Ohmes and Ohmes-raht resemble humanoids with certain cat-like qualities; the former even more human or elf-like than the latter, whereas the Alfiq are frequently confused for housecats.
