All information about this creature

info

Overview

Name fingerprint

Changeling

Description

A much more efficient form of Horrors, changelings are nearly perfect at their allotted craft of shapeshifting. Ginnungagap’s thought process behind which beings should be changelings and which should be horrors is a mystery to all. While they are protected by the same laws as any human would be, said laws are unfortunately rarely enforced. Many changelings take up a life of crime to meet their needs as a result.

Type of creature

Eldritch creature

pets

Looks

Color

While a changeling may be partial to darker colours, they have no universal colours.

Shape

Changelings can mimic the shape of any preexisting species, and can even shift into unique forms not attributed to any living animals.

Size

They are extremely malleable but cannot grow bigger than 10-12 feet.

Weight

they can weigh anything up to 8,000 pounds.

Notable features

Changelings are frighteningly good at copying the physical attributes of another creature. While many prefer human or humanoid forms, some are more partial to animalistic forms.

Materials

Dependent on the animal being copied

fingerprint

Traits

Aggressiveness

While unaggressive changelings exist, most are at least capable of incredible violence and even more pick up a life of crime to sustain themselves.

Method of attack

Changelings may adopt the fighting style of one animal or another, preferring that form of combat overall.

Maximum speed

While this is mainly dependent on the specific changeling, the fastest recorded speed one could reach was ~50 MPH

Strengths

Their shapeshifting is impeccable, nearly perfect. They lack the tells that Formless Horrors have and are in general incredible at persuasion.

Weaknesses

Their blood is incredibly hot compared to a human's, making them extremely sensitive to warmth in general.
Changeling's can not shift their eyes. They must keep the colour and number of the eyes they emerged with.

Spoils

Their blood is sometimes used in pigments and dyes and their eyes are often taken as trophies or, more humanely, as mementos.

Strongest sense

Like Formless Horrors, Changelings have incredible vision. While they may be a bit more "human" in their seeing capabilities, they're still able to see from uncanny distances.

Weakest sense

Changelings are also worse off when it comes to hearing. Theirs is a little bit better than a Horror's, but only a little.

Intelligence

Changelings have around the same intelligence as an average human. Some may be smarter or less smart depending on different factors throughout their life.

location_on

Habitat

Preferred habitat

While they can live anywhere with the right accommodations, they live best in cool climates.

Food sources

Changelings are omnivorous with a preference to meats and animal byproducts.

Predators

Changelings adopt the predators of the animal counterparts. While changelings are considered humans under Asgardian law, poaching is unfortunately a common practice among particular circles.

Prey

Changelings typically go for large and nutrient-rich animals, though they are able to and will eat anything if they're desperate.

Evolution

Ancestors

Like Formless Horrors, Changelings derive from Ginnungagap and are practically its offspring. However, Changelings are much more diverse and unique. How or why this divergence happens is currently unknown.
