Homebrew Elven Tabaxi (Updated) Species Details

Created by the god Corellon, the first elves could change their forms at will. They lost this ability when Corellon cursed them for plotting with the deity Lolth, who tried and failed to usurp Corellon’s dominion. When Lolth was cast into the Abyss, most elves renounced her and earned Corellon’s forgiveness, but that which Corellon had taken from them was lost forever.

No longer able to shape-shift at will, the elves retreated to the Feywild, where their sorrow was deepened by that plane’s influence. Over time, curiosity led many of them to explore other planes of existence, including worlds in the Material Plane.

Eventually, they had traversed into the plane of the Cat Lord, and some have grown attached to the beliefs, leading themselves to  be influenced into the naturalistic skills of what a tabaxi would have. This developed features of pointed nails when grown, lycanthropic legs, abilities to climb upwards on surfaces, and the curiosity of chasing things of interest.
