InuyashaFE Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yea well it doesn't make sense for khajiit to have fur considering they live in one of the hottest regions. Lions live in Africa, and they have fur. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco856 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 They are reptilian, not reptiles. Big difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lachdonin Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 First off, Moredhel, there are few people whose pictures you could have posted which would make my blood bloil even more... That man... He... ugh... I hope he dies. I really, really do. And painfully. "The bedrock is slightly radioactive here! Dur, there must have been an alien nuclear reactor on this spot!"... How about the fact the entire province has a high level of background radiation because of an abundance of radon gass? ugh... Anywho, onto the point. The Argonians, by our best explination, were created by the Hist. From what, we don't know. Theres a story that the Khajit were created by Azura from Elves (Which would explain why they are so affected by lunar cycles), so it's possible the Hist used an extant race as a basis for the Argonians as well. If they were created from Elven settlers in Blackmarsh, it makes sense they maintained some traits. I do agree, however, that i miss the digitgrade legs. It added so much more character to them...

Lachdonin Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 As an Archaeologist, he and others like him (Zacheria Stitchen, Erich von Daniken, Laurence Gardner etc) are the bane of my existance. They completely ignore the propensity for human acomplishment and the value of ancient cultures in favor of a 'We couldn't do it today, so it must be aliens' train of thought. It is completely absurd and ignores hundreds of well documented facts. But thats the boiling blood talking, and dragging us off topic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid I wanted to either be an archaelogist or a paleontologist... and you ARE one! I'm a librarian now, also fun, but I reckon way less fun than your job :( Ok, back ontopic people!

Susurruss Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I do actually remember talking to Deeja on the Solitude docks and she gives me lip about talking to her egg-brother (assuming she means Jaree-Ra) and not herself. So we know eggs are involved :D They do come from eggs. They refer to their young as hatchlings. As for the rest... Well, let's see, lizard IRL do not have mammary glands. They also do not have gills. They are air-breathers exclusively. Amphibious, yes, but no gills. On the other hand, Argonians are both air- and water-breathing. Lizards IRL are descended from a natural evolution. Argonians, on the other hand, are creations of an ancient plant-based intelligence (the Hist). Argonians are actually closer to trees than reptiles. They are "The People of the Root" - as in tree, NOT reptile. See: Ancient Tales of the Dwemer, Pt II - The Seed "You must understand that to my people, the Hist are where we come from and where we are going. To destroy our bodies is nothing; to destroy our trees is to annihilate us utterly.""Few of us are strong enough to live away from our ancestral groves..." see also: http://uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Argonian Edited December 14, 2011 by Susurruss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drachis Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Look awesome. But, once again... reptiles are not supposed to have breasts. (you will never find mammary glands on any reptile IRL)What is this? I don't even-- I need an adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
