Should Khajit get a different sort of lycanthropy?

Cat men turning into werewolves is funny and odd to me. Maybe it would have broke the lore but maybe a werepanther or something

No. People seem to think that dogs and cats are mirror opposites like heat and cold, but really a Khajiit turning into a werewolf is no more bizarre than a human doing it.

Should they also get a different form of Rock Joint? No, not really. Same principle applies to lycanthropy.

Yeah should Argonians turn into Velociraptors instead?

Werepanther? A cat turning into a cat...

There are werelions in lore, but they're found in the southern parts of Tamriel. It's possible that a TES game set in Elsweyr will have this kind of lycanthropy, although I wouldn't count on it.

The thing is, you don't contract general lycanthropy, but a specific type of it - if you're bitten by a werewolf, you become a werewolf, end of story. You don't suddenly turn into another animal just because you're of a different race. To become a werelion, you'd have to contract the disease from a werelion, and as far as I know they don't live in Skyrim.

That would only be if the werewolf came out of the Khajiit's butt when it transformed!

Turning into a Werewolf is really just turning into a Beast Form of Man. Khajiit could still do this, but their form should be a more beastly version of themselves. Would this be more tiger like than wolf like, sure. But, it is still a beast form. Argonians could go more Komodo Dragon like to further this concept.
