**General Overview**

They are a barely known Döppelganger/Shapeshifting shadow-demon. Everyone is very unpredictable, but most of the time the individuals decide to follow one specific goal for the sake of it. They are great predators of souls of any kind, and search for total consumption or perversion of the unknown and new, changing everything into their image, this gives them the feeling of comfort and familiarity that they lack. Interestingly enough, they do not have a set of traits designed initially, and they follow the characteristics of what they consume or destroy. They are often seen working as corrupt leaders, dark warriors, and cultists of Agra. Almost everyone hides his original self in public. They do not form communities with each other in normal conditions, so nothing of their particular praxis is known. They live almost a century, rarely more.

**Natural Race Abilities/Affinities**

While eating a victim or recent corpse in good condition, in rare cases they gain magic knowledge, biological and psychological traits, such as memories, thoughts, and the sense of identity. It is very rare and can't be insured, having a realistic chance of getting nothing. They do, however, can get more limbs in their original form.

They can shapeshift into anything that has been eaten or observed in proximity by them, but changing to a form of different volume and mass is greatly more difficult and tiring. After the transformation runs down, they need to rest. If the form they are using has some kind of ability, they only can use that ability in that particular form, and their other abilities can only be used in the original form.

The grass, plants and wood that they have touched with bad intent or mood for a long time, or the corpses that they have eaten, rot and turn into a rubbery shapeless black substance, that lasts no longer than a full day and starts decaying extremely fast into the thin air. Some conspiracies say that in a place where one lives no new life will emerge.

As a lack of mouth, ears and nose in his original form, they sense and consume the necessary components for living through the skin as some kind of advanced osmosis, they last no much longer as if they had normal senses to do so.

The eyes, the most noticeable part of their body, can have many attack-type abilities tied to the type of user.

Some of them are able to create venom from their skin, the type and effect varies from individual to individual.

They are great escalators and difficult to see in the dark

.

**Appearances**

There's not a particular form this thing takes, but almost every normal aged one has dark and thin skin, blank and empty faces with only a pair of unblinking eyes, and a set of extremities gained from consumption of other creatures. They can shapeshift for a limited time.

.

**History**

They live and often coexist with other races for they are weak. It's believed that Dæmonoloch had spawned from the corruption, after what they stayed and prospered in 'secrecy' under human and elven settlements. If discovered and killed they always shapeshifted into humanoid creatures making the corpse unrecognisable, so only a little few knows of them. Rarely, the corpse rots at an irregular slow rate compared to humans. There've been a few of them made into history, but no one knows which one, they always have different names to hide.
