Changeling

Changelings often have distinct characteristics that set them apart from their people. They may have a tail, a hunched back or a withered appearance, even if very young. They may also develop a grayish or greenish tone to their skin. A changeling will also eat differently from a regular person. Although they can consume enormous quantities, some are very picky and occasionally refuse to eat anything but uncooked vegetables or flowers. Their hair and nails grow long quite quickly, adding to the strangeness of the changeling's overall appearance.

Changelings cry and laugh at inappropriate times and say unexpected and strange things. A person that speaks entirely in singsong or riddles is probably a changeling.

Changelings have been known to try to lure their human "family" into the hands of their changeling family. Beware if asked to go on a moonlit walk through the woods with a family member that has been behaving strangely.

Occasionally a changeling will grow up with a mortal family and his or her odd characteristics will diminish, until even the changeling forgets that it is not a human.
