New race in Dragon Age is feline?

Nope, no race of cat people anywhere to be found.

No furries, either. Or LARPers, for that matter.

Some people might think the race is vaguely lizard-like, I suppose, but the race in no way corresponds to a "humanoid version" of any Earth creature. Nor is it a translation of any creature that exists inside the D&D mythos.

The fourth race, if you are interested, is defined far more by its religion and culture than by its physiology. Indeed, the religion came first in its conceptualization, not "hey let's make a race based on X".
