Catfolk
In general, catfolk are lithe and slender, standing midway between dwarves and humans in stature. While clearly humanoid, they bear a strong resemblance to large jungle or desert cats standing on their hind legs with features including a coat of soft fine fur, slit pupils, and a sleek, slender tail. They manipulate objects as easily as any other humanoid, but their fingers terminate in small, sharp, retractable claws. These claws are typically not powerful enough to be used as weapons, but some members of the species—either by quirk of birth or from years of honing—can use them with deadly effect. Feline whiskers are not uncommon, but not universal, and hair and eye color vary greatly.
