Changelings can use their magical nature to adopt the forms of anyone they see. They assume different forms to conceal their true nature, forms that most deem hideous and unsettling.

Faerie create changelings to conceal the absence of children they steal. They construct a changeling from natural materials and use magic to give it the appearance of the missing child. The magic often fades after a few weeks, but sometimes it lingers and lets the changeling grow up to become a real person.
