Changelings Tribe

TW, this tribe contains some gore-ish topics.

• Harm towards their brain

• Cutting off a ton of body parts (They can survive this easily, but if you remove the right things/enough parts, they could quickly die)

• Ego(Nowadays)

• Allergies(lol)

• Doormat(Not much anymore)

### Strengths:

• Shapeshifting

• Grudge Holding

• Peace Makers(Not Anymore)

• Empathy(Their chances to be empaths are higher, but nowadays I don’t think they are (or else they are Dark Empaths ig))

### Common Diseases/Illnesses:

- Shifting Plague/Glitching: This happens to every changeling eventually, but it can start at any age (usually after 7 dy).

Common Symptoms(Disclaimer: This is fictional, so keep in mind that even if two symptoms don’t usually go together, or if this looks like something that already exists, too bad, this is a made up disease, and these are the symptoms):

• Random Shapeshifting

• Tingling/Crawling/Stinging Sensations

• Cramps

• Sharp Pains

• Seizures

• Throwing Up

• Stomach Ache

• Low Appetite

• Fever

• Fatigue

• Weight Loss

• Chills

• (Rarely)Death

### Old Society:

Changelings are kind, curious beings that sort of keep the peace. They have no specific ruler, they are free creatures. They are generally very social, and love interacting with any new species and trying to replicate their appearance, and learning what they know and learning to fit in with that animal group. They are loyal, reliable, kind, and empathetic, and tend to sometimes end up as a doormat to anyone who takes advantage of them, but if you push them too far, they can hold an everlasting grudge on you that they will almost never let go.

### New Society:

They have no ruler. Usually one family member takes charge of the rest, like a ruler(who that is depends on the family hierarchy, which, depending on the family, is built upon dominance, ranks(social ladder), or capability). They tend to stay in smaller communities made up of their own family. Changeling families are generally large, so they all make up their own “pod”. Changelings don’t really have a common language or species, so other changeling families generally don’t talk to each other or really visit with each other, or interact in any way, but most of the changelings today are in dragon forms.

### General Personality(ex: Skywings are grumpy/Mudwings are easy going):

Old: This tribe is very hard to anger, but once done, they hold grudges for GENERATIONS. They are one of the kindest species to exist, and became doormats often.

New: Those that are left are mostly negative and over confident, and have major trust issues.

### Names:

Nothing specific, depends on their families main animal species (families normally stay the same species as the rest of their family, and usually call that their “true form”, though in truth, they don’t have a true form.

### Description:

There isn’t really a way to describe a being without a true form.

### Fun Facts:

• The way shapeshifting works is by taking what they already have and morphing it into something else. They can’t make NEW body parts, they can only rearrange, or change substance and form of a bodypart, but if they don’t have enough body to transform, then they can’t always be everything they want. A small changeling can’t turn into anything too big since they wouldn’t have enough for it, and big changelings have a hard time becoming small things, because they have trouble figuring out what to do with all their extra body.

• They can only transform into animals (or sometimes bacterias, and stuff like that), no plants or objects or anything like that.

• Most changelings describe shapeshifting to feel like their insides turning into soup. (Getting a little mushy and then it moving around their bodies, like mixing).

• Their egg looks like fish eggs, but larger (about the size of a tennis ball)

• Their Old Society is basically the opposite of their New Society.

### Creator:

Not sure where the concept of changelings came from in the first place, possibly MLP, and I think theres already a wof tribe on them, but this is my version of them in the Hatchery for all Universe.
