Dark Changeling

Tevinter

The Changelings are an interesting breed; born hungry for love an unable to sate that hunger through theft, they were the villains of Thedastria. Truly, a hungry Changeling is a terrifying and dark creature, all sharp edges and wasting away.
They have the amazing ability to change shape, copying the form, mannerisms, and voices of any creature they encounter, and even disguise themselves as inanimate objects, such as rocks. Though, they have for the longest time been considered cruel beasts, even the Changelings can change with time.
Changelings may not be the best at anything but they are good at everything. This, along with their Morph power, makes Changelings very powerful, and very useful as a pony of all trades for an adventuring party.

• Among the Changeling of ancient Thedastria there was a tradition that fused the arts of magic and scuffles.
• These abilities are thought by most to be forgotten, another casualty of the wars that destroyed the changeling homelands. Though hidden, that knowledge does survive.

History

• Queen Mother Chrysalis is the oldest and largest of the Changelings, born from an ancient carnivorous plant by the foolish mistakes of a kind hearted wizard. A master of deception and with very little care for any creatures that are not Changelings, Queen Mother Chrysalis has been a parasite upon Thedastria for over a thousand of years. In that time, she has led her cursed Changelings from meal to meal, feeding upon the love and kindness that ponykind shares but never filling her stomach. This is because the need for love inside a changeling cannot be satisfied by stealing from others, but only by sharing love freely.
