Much of the breed of a Khajiit depends upon the position of the moons at the time of their birth. With the moons being absent during the Void Nights, their physiology would very likely have been altered in significant ways. There are multiple theories as to what these changes would have been like. Some believe that the Khajiit born during the Void Nights were stillbirths, while others may believe that they looked more elf like. You see, Khajiit and Bosmer are believed to both derive from proto-Merrish forest people from the Dawn Era, who had no fixed shape. From divine intervention from Azurah and Nirni (according to Clan Mother Ahnissi), the two were separated into different races. The former made the Khajiit, binding them to the Lunar Lattice and naming them its protector. Thus, with their connection to the Lunar Lattice appearing severed during the Void Nights, some people believe that the newborn Khajiit would revert back to the state of the their proto-Mer ancestors and appear more Elf like. Unfortunately, we cannot be sure what happened, they are just theories.
