Lore:Senche (furstock)
Then shall be born the Senche
Great Chiefs of Lesser Cats
Lords of the Wilder Lands
They embrace the Way of the Hunt
Such that some may call them beasts
But their souls are thus the purest
And most incorruptible of all Khajiit."
—All Our Perfect Forms
The Senche are a quadrupedal furstock of Khajiit. They are often confused with their tiger-sized, catlike, and lesser sentient cousins, Senche-Cats.[1][2][3] This is due to Khajiit also using the term Senche to describe them.[UOL 1][UOL 2] They are described as "Great Chiefs of Lesser Cats", and their souls are said to be purest and most incorruptible of all Khajiit.[4]
The Senche furstock is said to be similar to Pahmar-raht in size. They are very large, standing about as tall as an Altmer or having a shoulder height of a Horse. Some say their weight is comparable to that of twenty Altmer, which may be a bit of an exaggeration. Their forelimbs are thick, and their rear limbs are only half as long, giving them an apelike appearance. They have tawny fur, ribboned with stripes the color of dried blood.[5] Some may use them as steeds if the Senche permits them to.[1][6]
