Doppelganger

Basic Information:
Doppelgangers are devious shapeshifters that take on the appearance of other humanoids, throwing off pursuit or luring victims to their doom with misdirection and disguise. Few creatures spread fear, suspicion, and deceit better than doppelgangers. Found in every land and culture, they can take on the guise of any individual of any race. In their true form, doppelgangers appear as tall, elven, gray-skinned humanoids, whose thin hairless bodies make them appear, to human eyes, sexless. Their heads are bulbous, with formless faces and bulging eyes that are a pale yellow hue and lack visible pupils. Though even this form is deceptive, as it gives the impression they are physically weak, when in fact they are quite strong and agile.
They are lazy but cunning creatures, who kill or dispose of people then assume their place. While not actually evil, doppelgangers are extremely self-centered and liable to look down on their victims. Because of their laziness and selfishness, they rarely ever have any interest in raising their young.
