Their true forms were most commonly humanoids with the heads of tigers and luxurious fur to match their attire, although it was not unusual for them to possess the heads and features of carnivorous apes, crocodiles or mantises, with high ranking rakshasas being rumored to have multiple heads.
Physical Description. The true form of a rakshasa is that of a human-feline hybrid, fearsome and hale in stature. They have fangs, claw-like fingernails, and flaming red eyes. Their features often resemble a tiger or other fierce feline beasts. All rakshasa have a deformity, as a reminder of their cursed heritage.

As their name suggests, tigrines (also known as tiger-folk) are a sapient feline race that resemble anthropomorphic tigers. They usually stand over 7 feet, either equel in size to a leonin or a bit taller.
Tigerfolk, no matter their fur color, can stand over seven feet tall, and usually weigh more than 200 pounds. Tigerfolk are muscular, showing clear definition along their fur-lined bodies. Tigerfolk body fur is thin and fine, and their heads are shaped like that of a tiger.
But, also Lions and Tigers have been known to rarely interbreed, (Tions/Ligers)... so it might be a fun dynamic to have a player who plays a PC that is "Tabaxi" by birth, but Leonin by mechanics.
Traits. Keen Smell: The tiger has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell. Pounce: If the tiger moves at least 20 ft. straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
