Changelings are an ancient race of shape changers universally feared and hunted by all other races except elves.

Countless legends warn of the dangers, treachery and foul deeds of the shape changers...infamous villians accused of plotting the destruction of the other races by assuming the shape of those people and slaying them while they slept. It is said that a changeling will secretly study a person, his speech, mannerisms, and life style, then slay him and assume his identity. Although much of this is superstition and madness, many changelings have been known to capture or kill a person assume his identity for the purpose of spying... In addition evil changelings have used their abilities to become assassins and criminals. It is the deeds of these villains that help fuel the misconceptions and psychotic fear that people harbor toward changelings.

Today it is believed that changelings are extinct or nearly so, but no one can be certain... for how does a person identify a creature who can assume any humanoid shape at will?
