    (This is my first thread here, I came from the wonderful Comic Vine) This is a rough estimate of the Khajiit forms' different abilities. I will start on the bipeds and later finish the rest. Enjoy!

    First off, the bipedal breeds.

    Dagi (-raht)

    • · Height: 3’6” (4’2”)
    • · Weight: under 60 lbs ( under 80 lbs)
    • · Speed : 20 mph (25 mph)
    • · Strength/Endurance: weaker than men or mer
    • · Agility/reflexes: generally greater than most men or mer
    • Note: Although they are Khajiit, the Dagi have unusually proficient magical ability, as well as being small and skinny.

    Suthay (-Raht)

    • · Height: 5’3” (About 5’9”)
    • · Weight: About 120 lbs (about 150 lbs)
    • · Speed: 20 mph (25 mph)
    • · Strength/Endurance: generally weaker than most men or mer (average)
    • · Agility/reflexes: generally greater than most men or mer
    • · Note: The Elf-like Ohmes and Ohmes-raht should have the exact same physical descriptions, so they are not listed.

    Cathay (-Raht) “The Jaguar-Men”

    • · Height: About 6’3” (8’)
    • · Weight: Around 200 lbs (close to 500 lbs)
    • · Speed: Over 30 mph (about 50-60 mph)
    • · Strength/Endurance: Peak human (Super human)
    • · Agility/Reflexes: Peak human (Super human)
    • · Note: The Cathay-raht is has the same speed and size as a Werewolf, plus feline acrobatics & dexterity.

    @xlr87t3: This sounds like it'd be good for an action-figure post, or something.

    And then you could honestly make like a good fan-fiction using these type of stats. I just don't know what else to say here than "The more you know."

    Its just ah, this site sort of doesn't care so much about stats, but would totally comment if you made like a blog on your experiences on an Elder Scrolls game. Say how many mods you installed, and you'll get even more comments. You just gotta know your audience..

    The Cathay sound pretty cool. I haven't seen them in any of the games though. Were they in Arena or Redguard? They are the only ones I haven't played.

    Racial stereotyping of the fictional kind.

    Is this reflected in the actual game, or is this just lore?

    Both. The Suthay-raht/Ohmes-raht is supposed be the average size and build of humans, and their cousins, Suthay & Ohmes, the size of Wood Elves. Khajiit in Skyrim are taller then Bosmer, yes? And they do run faster then Altmer in-game (Altmer is the fastest race).

    Doesn't it blow anybody else's mind what fiction really is? Some US American dudes in their thirties sitting in the Bethesda offices thought up of a cat race for their roleplaying RPG, they just thought it up like I can think up a race of bear-pig species in a novel I might decide to write. And here we are just taking this made up race and turning it into a legitimate thing with physical details and a bunch of lore that was given to us by those mid-thirties US American guys. We legitimize this made up race, discuss it and consider it a part of our lives, entertainment-wise.

    Fiction's legitimacy amazes me.

    Well, the main Khajiit breed shown after Ohmes/Ohmes-raht in the early games were Suthay-raht, starting with the third game ES III: Morrowind. If the Jaguar-men were shown, everyone would be complaining why they can't play as them instead of the slow moving Nords or Orcs.

    Reading that page makes me really want the next Elder Scrolls game to be set in Elsweyr. Also, next-gen with no loading into different cells would be pretty sweet.

    @jouseldelka: These are stories. People like stories, whether they are fake or real. That's why fiction is legitimate. Because people like this stuff. Yes, anyone can make a pig, bear, owl, dog man but not everyone can do it well. The "US American guys in their thirties" who make Elder Scrolls just so happen to do a pretty damn good job of it.

    @xlr87t3: I don't want to sound negative but those stats are definitely just speculative, and do we even know if the different khajiit morphs and the lunar lattice are canon? It has never been mentioned in the games, but a lotof other stuff hasn't either I suppose.

    Mixed Unit Tactics discusses a number of different kinds of Khajiit, so there is definitely some sort of acknowledgement that different sub-species exist. Apparently only human-like Khajiit tend to venture outside of Elsweyr, which is why we never see spellcasting house cats, or giant battlecat mounts in the games.

    Haha,

    When she came to herself again she was sitting beside Therris, who was buttoning her shirt. "That hurt!" she said indignantly.

    "Always does, kid. Didn't anyone ever tell you about Khajiit men? It hurts good though, now doesn't it?" Barenziah scowled at him. She was still smarting. His penis had tiny little barbs on it.

    @xlr87t3: Where'd you get this information from? And without context I don't really see its value (beyond being somewhat interesting information). Just to add, sorta, my current char in Skyrim is a Khajiit. He's pretty cool.

    @fetchfox: If you look at the OP, you will see that I said "This is a rough estimate of the Khajiit forms' different abilities". I estimate their size based on lore, in-game stats, and real-life animals. For example, the Imperial Library, the so called "Lore Experts", said that the Senche-Raht is the size of a large horse. Any sane person (who actually knows how much a horse weighs) would realize that that comparison is total crap! A 7,500 pound (I think Altmer are like 150 lbs), 13+ feet long animal is a large White Rhino or Hippopotamus. This is the context: "An Imperial analysis of the Khajiit Forces. Hand guide for every Imperial soldier". Satisfied? (please don't answer)

    I'm going to work on quadrupedal breeds next.
