Description
Khajiit are one of the ten default playable races in The Elder Scrolls. They are one of the beast races which inhabit the continent of Tamriel, primarily their home province of Elsweyr.
They are known for their natural agility, stealth, and their production of Moon Sugar, which can be refined into skooma (a drug). They travel around selling their wares but are not usually trusted, due to the racial prejudice of many of the races in Tamriel, resulting possibly from the belief that most Khajiit are thieves. They usually talk about themselves in third person, such as with J'zargo and Kharjo: "J'zargo is leaving now, J'zargo bids you farewell," or "Kharjo is ready to fight now."
One of the most well-known Khajiit is m'aiq the liar. He wanders around Tamriel telling questionable tales, and is believed to be either an immortal being, like a daedra, or multiple people of the same family who have the same name, since he is seen in widely different time periods.
