The Kahajiit are weird because of their connection to the moons, which suggests that they have an actual different divine origin than man or mer.

It's definitely Argonians.
Lizards with breasts? That's just bizarre.

Hmm, that's a tough one
Sloads Asexually reproduce, are corpulent slugs, and seem to use necromancy like it's normal
Argonians are odd biologically weird and mostly unknown culturally
Bosmer are cannibals
But Khajiit are the most well known weird race, between the different subspecies, speech patterns, pantheon containing both Aedra and Daedra, complex governing, and drug use is common occurrence.
Chaos loves the Khajiit, especially the Cathay-raht and Dagi

Bosmer.
The Khajiit and the Argonians are strange, but that's their predestined role in the universe. But a bunch of elves who'd rather eat people rather than fruit hanging from the boughs? They're just one step above toxic 'shroom munching Falmer.

Re: Whats the wierdest race you know, explain!
I'm going with Bosmer, the carnivorous and cannibalistic traditions of Valenwood aren't something you'd expect in small elves. Also how they would seem to not make anything out of plant-matter is strange. But if I could pick any race on Nirn, it would probably be Ka Po' Tun, Tiger-Dragon people sound really odd.

Well, you just brought it back...
I voted for Imperials.
The word "Imperial" isn't a race, it's a... a... well, I'm not sure how to describe it, but it sure aint a race!
Plus, no-one who seems that normal, can actually be that normal.

Re: Whats the wierdest race you know, explain!
Dunmer for me. They are 'fallen elves' but instead of evolving into something along the lines of the Falmer or lurking in ruins like Tamreils goths, they have embraced their dark skin, celebrated Boethia as a sort of patron saint, continued to maintain links with their dead to the point that their ghosts have been know to pop in and help them (imagine a Dunmer squabble down at the market where the ancestors are brought in lol), and celebrate this link with the past so much that the only necrophiles i have met in Tamreil are Dunmer. So red mountain exploding has really just fed into the wierdness of their psyche imo

(is it safe to add to a revived thread? I'll post anyway.)
I voted Bosmer,
I voted Bosmer,
Lore:Green Pact wrote:A strict code upheld by the Bosmer of Valenwood, which prohibits the use of any wood or vegetable matter of Valenwood as building materials, and requires that Bosmer be strict carnivores.[1] This non-vegetarian practice is part of the Meat Mandate, a section of the pact that also states a Bosmer must eat his fallen enemy; this cannibalistic nature sets them apart religiously from other nations. The Bosmer allegedly made the Green Pact with Y'ffre the Forest Deity in return for Y'ffre's patronage and perhaps protection.[2] As a result, the Bosmer use bone, animal, and insect products widely; imported wood is used when necessary.[1][2] There are also almost no cities or towns built by the Bosmer themselves. Additionally, the Green Pact made the felling of trees by anyone, foreign or native, a crime against the Bosmeri religion.

'Imperial' is a title, one gained after they took over the continent. Racially, they're Cyrodiilic. A Nedic race that came about as they bred within the isolated genetic pool of an enslaved population.Believe wrote:Well, you just brought it back...

Orc, maybe? Unlike all the other races, they do not have their own province, which makes them very unusual.

The Left-Handed Elves. 
Or the Khajiit because they're are a billion different kinds, they like to get high on dat' sugar, and their whole structure is based off of how the moons work. And they're also really fragile without the moon it seems as seen during the "Great War". D:
