Those who live on the outskirts of Elsweyr and outside of the region often tattoo their faces to distinguish themselves as much as possible from the Mer. A lesser subtype, the Ohmes, appear almost identical to Bosmer. They strongly resemble humans, albeit with light fur and a distinct tail.
The Ohmes-raht make up most of the Khajiit in the areas which are more populated by humans, such as Cyrodiil and High Rock.
Outside of Elsweyr, only one or two subtypes of Khajiit are typically seen in a given area. 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.
