Tabaxi/Video transcript

Who were the tabaxi?

The tabaxi were a race of feline humanoids originally from the continent of Maztica, far to the west of Faerûn. They also had a notable population in the jungles of Chult.

Some called the tabaxi "jaguar people" or "leopard men" because of the spots or stripes found in their yellow-to-red-colored fur. Most tabaxi were taller than humans, with slender and lithe bodies. They were skilled at both climbing and swimming. Like most cats, tabaxi had long tails and retractable claws, which they sometimes used in combat.

However, tabaxi were just as likely to use weapons in battle. They were exceptional hunters with a keen sense of smell. Combined with their speed, agility, stealth, and natural camouflage, they made for challenging foes. Nevertheless, they had few enemies and would not attack unless they had strong reason to do so.

The tabaxi were a reclusive people who often avoided other intelligent races, so meeting one was uncommon. They lived in small clans led by elders, who were aided by shamans.
