Walfablang
Though only rarely referred to by name in ancient texts, the walfablang are believed to be the progenitor species to doppelgangers, mimics, and changelings. Though their abilities might seem primitive in comparison to their descendants, these insidious creatures possess far greater versatility and range in regards to their transformative powers. They are cunning and cruel, hiding among their favored prey in plain sight until they can isolate single individuals to attack and consume. Though not particularly dangerous to a well trained soldier or mercenary in a direct confrontation, their talent for stealth and subterfuge make them elusive quarry for most monster hunters.
