Doppelgangers are shapeshifters who can take on the shapes of those they encounter.1
Appearance
In its natural form, a doppelganger is a humanoid with ambiguous features and indeterminately colored flesh.1
Ecology
Doppelgangers prefer infiltrating societies where they can gather wealth and influence. They distrust their own kind out of fear that another doppelganger will ruin their carefully laid—and sometimes decades-long—plans to take over a group or community by assuming its leader's identity.1
Doppelgangers can learn new skills, and many become fighters, rogues, or spellcasters. Some even infiltrate adventuring groups.1
