Tabaxi

Tabaxi are a race of feline humanoids. They are taller than most humans at six to seven feet. Their bodies are slender and often covered in spotted or striped fur. Like most felines, Tabaxi have long tails and retractable claws. Tabaxi fur had an incredible variety, from all the colors found in the common cat, to coloring similar to wild cats such as jaguars, tigers and lions.   Tabaxi were a reclusive people who often avoided interaction with other intelligent races. However, as each tabaxi possessed a specific feline trait, some had an innate curiosity that compelled them to travel and seek out stories, artifacts, new experiences and knowledge, never remaining in the same place or obsessing over the same piece of lore for too long. In general, tabaxi did not care for wealth, but they had an almost obsessive interest in ancient artifacts, relics and technology, but not for the items themselves, as much as the stories and secrets they held.
