Where did you guys get the idea for the name “Tabaxi”? I think it’s a great name! I’m trying to create a wolf humanoid race and want some inspiration for a cool name. Thank you for your amazing work! Alas, it’s a name we inherited from Fiend Folio, a D&D book published back in 1981. Not familiar with where the name came from.
