I'm not sure how Morrowind specific this is, but of all the TES races, the Khajiit, with their third-person speak and Skooma drinking ways in addition to their mystical presence are probably the wackiest, although in only a good way.

I'll agree with Duru on this. Khajiit are pretty weird, as evidenced by Ahzirr Traajijazeri

Khajiit because they end up being born a different kind of Khajiit based on the moon cycle. Now that is weird. Also they take loads of drugs as part of welcoming people. What? Oh, yeah most Khajiit look like cats. I guess some people may find that weird....

Khajiit, overall. Not just because of their catlike appearance. That's the least of it. Their culture, their manner of speech and dress, their sense of humor, their beliefs, everything is very alien and fun.

Argonians. They evolve based on how many times they lick a tree's root.

Argonians are a lot weirder than Khajiits to me. XD I love their third-person speak. Calling themselves "this one" and saying their name is endearing, I guess . .

Khajiit, Khajiit, Khajiit. Even the name is wierd. The buggers are always referring to themselves in the third person, have that raspy sort of voice, and other goodies. That, and they're cats, the most demonic, sadistic, and innocent looking mammals in the world, yet these ones aren't innocent looking...

What's up with everybody voting for the Khajiit? "Little is known and less is understood about the reptilian denizens of Black Marsh, the Argonians." They have a lot of factors that make them weird and mysterious lizard people.

Argonian easily trump the Khajiit I could find you several books and quotes that explain in detail about the enviornment and culture of Elsweyr, but I bet hardly any of you could do the same for Blackmarsh.

I find trolls to be the most "weird". But that isn't part of the poll.

With seriousness: Does not having much information on something make it "weird"?

Yes, in the sense that we have no explanation for their weirdness and that all lore we have now points to Argonains "riding the roots", living multiple nasty creatures and have several offshoots themselves, plus their whole connection with the Hist shows that they aren't related to the Elfhoney at all, and further removes them from the 'norm' of the Elves/Men.

Weird =/= not known about. Khajiiti culture is highly unusual, from the language to the ja'Kha'jay, to their Pantheon and even the concept of the Elsweyr Confederacy's name. The Argonians are odd, and alien, too, but I don't think they're as insane as the Khajiit.

Too true. They change form based on what moons were present on birth. A bit like perma-lycanthropes.

Dude. Argonians change their whole body type by licking a sentient tree. To me that's more far fetched and downright weird than appearance influenced by the moon. Our moon influences various things on earth as well, it's not as weird, to me at least.
