Tabaxi

Tabaxi have spotted coats ranging in color from light yellow to brownish red. These graceful feline humanoids are tall and slender, with retractable claws, and eyes of green or yellow. Some tabaxi have solid spots and are also called cat men; they pronounce their name ta-BAX-ee. Tabaxi in other regions have roseate spots and pronounce their race's name tah-BAHSH-zee.   Tabaxi are great hunters, combining quick, stealthy movements with natural camouflage to surprise prey. Tabaxi are clever and organized, often driving prey into an ambush, though some play with prey before killing it. Tabaxi climb and swim well and use these abilities in combat when they can. Because of their cleverness and acute sense of smell, tabaxi carry the myth that they are almost impossible to trap. Tabaxi often use weapons of wood, bone, and stone, including bolas, slings, studded clubs, and javelins with an atlatl. They are as likely to use claws and teeth as any other weapon however.   Tabaxi have few natural enemies, For food, they prefer the boar-like peccaries and huge rodents called capybaras; only a very degenerate clan attacks members of another intelligent species for food. Sometimes hunted for their pelts, worth more than a commoner would hope to make throughout a lifetime. Their skins and claws are also used in some types of natural magic.   Tabaxi are reclusive and avoid other intelligent beings, even other tabaxi clans. They do not engage in trade, which they consider demeaning, but some few have agents who trade for them. Tabaxi speak their own ancient language. Legends tell of a great tabaxi civilization that was supplanted by other races.
