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 cousins of lesser intelligence, Senche-Cats. As such, they are often also called Senche-Tigers.[1][2][3] Part of this confusion is due to the Khajiit also using the term Senche to describe the less intelligent species.[4][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.[5] Some may use them as steeds if the Senche permits them to.[1][6]
The Senche furstock is said to be similar to Pahmar-raht in size. They are said to be very large, standing about as tall as an Altmer, weighing as much as twenty of them, or having a shoulder height of a Horse. Though these measurements may be a bit exaggerated. 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.[3][6] They are smaller and faster than Senche-raht.[6][7]
