Some scholars have claimed as many as twenty different breeds, but only seventeen have been identified and named to date. The location of the moon is also said to determine the Primary form of the Khajiit, whether it is to look more Feline, or Human. Each Khajiit is unique in appearance as the determining factor of their appearance is not their ancestors, but the phase of the Moon was at the time of birth of the particular Khajiit. The Khajiit race has several different, very distinctive sub-types, all of which look very different from each other yet still very Feline in appearance. They are an intelligent, feline race and are well known for their natural prowess in agility and stealth. Khajiit are one of the ten playable races in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
