Tabaxi
Basic Information
Anatomy
Tabaxi are taller than most humans at six to seven feet. Their bodies are slender and covered in spotted or striped fur. Like most felines, Tabaxi have long tails and retractable claws. Tabaxi fur color ranges from light yellow to brownish red. Tabaxi eyes are slit-pupilled and usually green or yellow.
Growth Rate & Stages
Tabaxi reach maturity at 18 and tend to live as long as humans.
Ecology and Habitats
Tabaxi are native to the Feywood Tropics and were once 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. Many tabaxi today live on ships or drift between city to city, always seeking out new secrets to uncover.
Behaviour
In general, tabaxi do not care for wealth, but they have an almost obsessive interest in ancient artifacts, relics and magic items, not for the items themselves as much as the stories and secrets they hold. Once an item had been thoroughly examined and studied, and its secrets revealed, it loses its allure and motivates the tabaxi to seek out even more.
Not all tabaxi are motivated by curiosity to leave their homeland in the Feywood Tropics, however. Some find safer ways to satisfy their fleeting obsessions by becoming traveling minstrels and tinkers, often accepting interesting objects and stories as payment for their services.
