Also historically referred to as an auf or oaf, is a human-like creature found in folklore and folk religion throughout Europe. A changeling was believed to be a fairy child that had been left in place of a human child stolen by the fairies.

Changelings-Many Fay & Gnome breeds are known for stealing human infants, often replacing them w/a substitute of their own kind.The reasons for this varied,from Fey wanting to diversify/strengthen their own biological stock,or needing the child as sacrifice to pay their Teind to Hell.The Changeling(Plentyn-Newid, Killcrops, Sibhreach, Crimbils & Sharg Bairns)could either be a Fey child or an extremely old Fay.Changelings are initially Glamorized to closely resemble the stolen child.2-1 Celtic Mythology, European Mythology, John Kenn, Irish Fairy, Irish Folklore, Irish Mythology, Legends And Myths, Medieval World, Ancient Origins
