Tabaxi Tabaxi Upbringing A tabaxi raised among their own kin can speak, read, and write Common and Tabaxi. Tabaxi is a growling language of alternately rolling, sharp, and sibilant consonants. It is derived from an ancient form of the Payit language of Maztica, and its original written form is pictographic. Tabaxi who have learned to read and write in Faerûn tend to use a variation of the Iokharic script designed for the Draconic language, as both languages are spoken with a mouth which is similarly-shaped and sharp-toothed. If brought up among those of other heritages, a tabaxi will learn the language(s) common to the dominant heritage in which they were raised. Created by the Cat Lord—a divine being of the Upper Planes—to blend the qualities of humanoids and cats, tabaxi are a varied people in both attitude and appearance. In their homeland, tabaxi often live much like the cats they resemble, being naturally curious and at home in environments with plenty of vertical surfaces to traverse, but they are also known for being reclusive. In lands populated by other humanoids, tabaxi tend to be much more reserved in their exuberance, and behave much as any other humanoids do. Tabaxi in
