Khajiit are one of the humanoid races which inhabit the continent of Tamriel, primarily their home province of Elsweyr. The Khajiit, along with the Argonians are referred to as the beast-races of Tamriel. They are recognized by their cat-like appearance and their sly accent.

Popular Usage & Unique Game Play
Khajiits excel in stealth roles, making them extraordinary archers, "rogues", and thieves. They're also good hand to hand fighters, although the Unarmed skill no longer exists in Skyrim, they have a claw attack ability that does more damage than regular fists, so the Khajiit are still natural fighters whether they are armed or not. This makes them good at bar fights as they do more damage to the other person. Which could result in an easier way of getting followers. This trait if paired with the "fists of steel" perk makes a Khaijiit player formidable without weapons.

History
The beast races (Khajiit and Argonian included) are extremely rare in Skyrim, and some players might enjoy the fact of being unique in Skyrim. Khajiit, however, are racially discriminated in certain cities like Whiterun-and Khajiit caravans are forced to take up business outside of the city walls. The exception is, of course, the Dragonborn-as they can enter the city after talking to the guards like anyone else.
