D&D General Races/creatures with six fingers?

[Laurefindel]

Oh man, D&D Inigo Montoya's vengeance mission goes deep into the Abyss.

Man, I came to this thread to say this exactly! Curses, foiled again!

I once played a Tiefling warlock who looked like a human in every way except that he had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot. (His family tree had gotten tangled up with Graz'zt a few generations ago.) No tail, no horns, no fangs, no bright red skin...just an extra digit.

So I'm gonna go with Tiefling.

Yeah, I think that's what I'll run with. Before this thread, I'd forgotten the Grazzt connection to six fingers; but that's good, and sets up some other interesting quirk possibilities. So maybe not tiefling specifically, as he's an ogre or half-hill giant or something, but at least a little Grazzt blood in his lineage!
Thanks all for the input!

Hemingway cats.

They have six digits. Seven or eight if you drink like Hemingway.

Just, you know, have some Hemingway Tabaxi.

Definitely. Perhaps a whole tropical island of them.
One is a novelist feverishly working on his magnum opus, working title is A Welcome to Fingers.

Mos def. Of course, they might be drunkenly typing away at, For Whom the Cat Nips.

Or you could just do a 180 and go full gonzo with the extra digit ...

Polydactyl Tabaxi.

This is pretty much how a Tabaxi Barbarian in a forthcoming campaign/setting of mine is able to wield a Chainsaw when it is fighting/slaying demons.

I also have to mention that said Tabaxi looks EXACTLY like a regular, domestic house cat and is the size of one.

I was also gonna automatically say a Rakasha, but then, I don't know how you'd balance that as a playable race for 5E unless you do some kitbashing/custom version of a Tabaxi and stuff.

Oh man. You just gave me an amazing idea for my next character. A tabaxi warlock, who has made a pact with a Rakshasa...
