But yes, bikini armor is indeed canonical to the Elder Scrolls setting.
But Daggerfall in game art certainly is. If you want proof of scantily clad ladies in Elder Scrolls, just look there.
There’s a good amount of stuff that’s been retconned, added, and removed since those games. Their general storylines and some of the major lore events are certainly still canon, but much of the minor stuff - unless it’s been mentioned or seen in TESIII onwards - should be considered non-canon or “questionable”.
In a way, Arena and Daggerfall (along with the spinoff games from that time period) are kinda like “rough drafts”. Those early games have a kind of fluid uncertainty to them like BGS wasn’t really sure what TES was or what they wanted it to be and heavily borrowed from existing fantasy IPs like Dungeons and Dragons and Lord of the Rings.
I mean just look at that Arena cover art. It screams 1980s D&D/Red Sonja/Conan the Barbarian.
The early games just don’t look or feel like they belong in the same series as Morrowind, Oblivion, or Skyrim. Which is why I - personally - don’t consider anything but the events of the main storylines from Arena and Daggerfall as “canon” unless it’s shown or confirmed in III, IV, or V.
that khajiit part is still canon. Khajiit have furstocks, one of which is one that looks very similar to a mer called Ohmes.
You would be wrong. The Tatoo and piercing craze of the 90's and 00's really ruined smut.
The 80's with VHS Video and Implants didn't help either.
I'll stick with my 70s and Skyrim Smut.
Daggerfall gave them tails, then Morrowind made them straight up cat-people, and Oblivion and Skyrim altered them further.
Somewhere in there, they decided to justify/explain the changing design by introducing the concept of the fur stocks into the lore.
Each of the mainline games have only featured one type of Khajiit, the only games that have actually featured more than one are ESO and Legends.
It’ll be interesting to see if TESVI continues the trend and gives us only one of the fur stocks, or if it’ll actually be the first main game of the series to include multiple.

Not so much the backstory but the design of jagar tharn was a rip of raistlin, down to the gold skin, black robes, white hair and unique eyes. Hell even his staff looks very closely to raistlin staff of magius.
Raistlin was mostly based off vecna (well fistandantilus the Lich to co inhabits his body is) which is another dnd character, but the writers of Dragonlance were also early DND writers (Tracy Hickman the co writer created the curse of strahd campaign back in the 80s as a one shot Halloween campaign that's since become extremely popular).
