Changeling
"Born of the pairings between mortals and the accursed Doppelgangers, these shape changing humanoids are difficult to define... as all aspects of their form is malleable and in constant change. Doppelgangers are typically too lazy or self-interested to raise their young. They assume attractive male forms and seduce women, leaving them to raise their progeny. A doppelganger child appears to be a normal member of its mother’s species until it reaches adolescence, at which point it discovers its true nature and is driven to seek out its kind to join them" - A census of Alnareth, by Mel Atoniin, Chief Genealogist at the Spire.
