Khajiits

Khajiits are a fictional species native to the planet Morokei in the *Elder Scrolls* series of role-playing video games. They are characterized by their feline-like appearance, including pointed ears, elongated faces, and tails, though their physical traits vary significantly among individuals. Khajiits typically stand between 5 and 6 feet tall and possess a wide range of fur colors, from black and brown to white and gray. Their society is deeply rooted in the concept of *Dagon*, a deity associated with luck, chance, and the unpredictable nature of fate.

Khajiits are known for their adaptability and resourcefulness, often thriving in harsh environments. They have a strong oral tradition, with many stories and proverbs emphasizing the importance of luck and resilience. Their culture places a high value on cunning, survival skills, and the ability to navigate uncertain circumstances. In the *Elder Scrolls* universe, Khajiits are often depicted as merchants, thieves, and explorers, though they also serve in various roles across Tamriel.

Biologically, Khajiits are believed to have originated from the planet Morokei, which was destroyed in a cataclysmic event. Some theories suggest they may have evolved from a different species or were created through divine intervention. Their physiology includes a strong sense of smell and night vision, adaptations that aid their nocturnal lifestyle. Despite their feline traits, Khajiits are not true felines but are instead a distinct species with their own unique biology and culture.

In the broader *Elder Scrolls* lore, Khajiits are sometimes viewed with suspicion or prejudice by other races, particularly the Dunmer (Dark Elves) and Nords, due to their association with Dagon and their perceived unpredictability. However, they have also formed alliances and contributed significantly to the history of Tamriel, demonstrating their importance in the region’s diverse tapestry of cultures.
