It is important for balance and also used as a rudder for steering as the argonian or khajiit swims. If their limbs are lost, argonians can regenerate them like real life lizards. It would be an interesting topic to write about.

Legion replied to Hasir's discussion Tails Tell Emotional Tales in the group The Story Corner:
Makes sense. I've never written a tailed character, but it does seem fun to have to use the tail as a primary means of expression. Makes me think that a tailed character losing their tail would make for an interesting chracter arc.
