The Tabaxi aren’t your ordinary housecat. They spring from their hiding spots to bite and claw you in search of their next meal. On second thought, maybe they are just like your cat.

- 1st edition tabaxi be like: Lizardfolk, but cats. - 5th edition tabaxi be like: Cat memes. - Headcannon: Tabaxi have naturally become less tribal, and more civilised over many in-game generations.

Just finished up a mini campaign (3 sessions) with my first ever tabaxi character, a scout rogue. It was tons of fun. Probably a more steady of a personality than your average tabaxi though. He has a hermit background. Life for him started as being part of a large caravan traveling family. Being that he is more reclusive, a loner, and introverted, this left him uncomfortable and he would often wander off for quieter spaces where and when he could find them. This starts his habit of hanging out in uncivilized areas in nature and his initial passion for researching the flora and fauna there and eventually his passion for exploring old ruins and caverns. He met his mentor who put him in contact with candlekeep and, as an adult, my Tabaxi eventually started taking on contract work for them, mostly keeping journals and gathering artifacts of historical or magical value and various samples of flora and fauna, all to sell to the massive library. This is to explain both his hermit background and why he is where he is for the campaign, which is the ruins of an old dwarven city that fell to fiend forces centuries ago. The campaign is now over and my tabaxi is escorting the party wizard to candlekeep for their own research as he returns to sell the tablets he picked up and the journal he kept about the entire adventure, which includes a map and sketches of various things in the ruins. One of the more amusing traits I gave my character has to do with his bag of holding. Given that my characters subclass, the scout, gives them no magical abilities, I chose to lean into the tabaxi trait of liking to have various items and collecting them. The bag of holding? It’s filled with various mundane items. Some are valuable and some or not but one of my favorite things to say for my tabaxi was “wait, I think I got something like this” and then rp him digging through the bag trying to find a specific thing to solve the problem before them. And I did this with mundane items. The dm and party were quite amused on my breaking of things via this. Dm says he now feels mundane items are under utilized for problem solving and rp moments. It genuinely was fun to play this character. Down to earth, practical, but with all the curiosity and vivacious nature of a cat. I would love to bring this character back for a future campaign.

So 5e Tabaxi have ADHD, as someone with ADHD and loves cats and other felines, it makes me happy that I can actually play as one.
