Guessing you've never played an elder scrolls game before?

Khajit (cat) / Argonians (lizard) been around since 1994 I think, wait till you see the bulls that stand on 2 feet and can use big hammers, dinosaurs, half human spiders, ghosts, goblins, ogres, imps, unicorns lol

The reason for the Khaj'iit (the cat people) and the Argonians (the lizard people) is that they exist in the TES universe. They were first introduced in TES 2: Daggerfall, and they've been part of the setting ever since. Lore-wise, the Argonians are from the province of Blackmarsh, and the Khaj'iit are from the province of Elsewyr. Both provinces share a provincial border with Cyrodiil, and both provinces are part of the Empire of Tamriel, like everywhere else in the continent at this point in the timeline.

If you want more specifics on lore of both.

Decent wiki for elder scrolls. Nearly everything backed up with references directly from many in game books and resources.

Honestly, if Oblivion really was their first TES game I could see how a person might do a double-take.
No idea why on earth someone would play Oblivion first these days though.

The setting is just straight generic fantasy and the lore is so weakly established and shallow they are just kinda... there at first. And I could see how they would feel out of place in this extremely generic western European fantasy setting. Like, okay for some reason the blacksmith in this idyllic medieval city is a huge bipedal lizard?

Any information about them is mostly handed out in books or by a couple of NPCs with 1 line of dialogue, Argonians get some racial lore in the faction quests... I don't think the khajiit get much attention? Even Leyawiin, wedged between the two provinces, is basically no different culturally than anywhere else. just it's racial composition.

Either a troll or a kid. "Why is there *insert any non-existent creature here* in a video game?" just sounds odd.

See, with Morrowind, you see the scrib and kwama foragers, you get attacked by a nix hound, an elf falls from the sky, you see a couple mushroom trees, and you just learn not to ask questions. People are farming giant flying jellyfish? Sure, okay. A small moon's just suspended there in the air? Why not?
