If u could be a khajiit or argonian in real life which would it be?

[LGG11]

I be a khajiit. Unless I lived right next to ocean or bay I be an argonian.

If I HAD too.... I'd be Khajiit because

1.dry itchy scales

2. There's always a bigger fish....

I'd be a Khajiit well.. mainly because of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08I4UCKsA8E

Khajiit ofc
Cause almost everyone love cats.
And almost everyone hate reptilians..

[MaximumEffort]

Khajiit! Them btards are fast

[LGG11]

I just like the idea of having lots of fur and a tail. Probly not most popular reason people choose khajiit.
Especially not popular with people that like taking baths

Turkish Van Khajiit wouldn't mind baths

Being able to breathe underwater sounds pretty awesome though. I don't know what it feels like to have scales but scales look pretty badass
Argonian tails don't sound nice. They look uncomfortable

Khajiit, I feel like seeing in the dark very well could be useful and I imagine they could jump quite high and always land on their feet like a normal cat, and would be quite flexible. As a Lizard that can breathe underwater and gets sick less often it would be nice, but I feel khajiit traits would be more useful in daily life. Both races would also give an advantage in a fight, both have claws and fangs, argonians have scales which I imagine give some protection depending on what type of lizard they are based on, which I think is moniter lizards.

I will have to stop you right there..
It dosen't work like that on creatures with humanoid anatomy
Khajiit or not your legs or arms aswell as your spine depending on the fall would shatter if you attempted that.

Reason why cats can survive falls (tho that is not always the case its a myth that cat can survive ANY fall but they can survive some) is because how their skeleton and body is built.
Proper weight distribibution and reducing falling speed is key to surviving falls.
Humanoids lack both.

EDIT: Before anyone brings "but its fantasy" argument..
Ingame Khajiit can't survive lrage falls either.
Not without use of alteration magic anyways.

In previous entries in the series they had bonuses to both acrobatics and athletics, which could equate to stronger leg muscles by default and their bones may also be stronger than men and mer. Khajiit do look different in this game too, in other games they had actual Digitigrade feet to help distribute weight. I would imagine they have a higher level of reflex than humans and they might have the same instinctual twist of cats. So if a Khajiit were to lose balance I feel they could land easier not necessarily a three story fall but at the very least better than the other races.
