 Changelings by Terri Windling -- The Endicott Studio Journal of Mythic Arts, Spring 2003
Changeling stories are folk legends, usually set in the same country as the teller, and come from an ancient belief system in which fairies are real, co-existing with mortals.
Most changeling tales from the folk tradition are told from the parents' point of view, but literary renditions often look at the other participants in the tale: the fairy changeling, the stolen child, even the fairy kidnappers.
Changeling and stolen child stories are closely related to "wild child" tales—about lost children, runaway children and feral children in the wilderness, the most famous of them being Mowgli's adventures in The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling.

The fact that the changelings' ravenous appetite is so frequently mentioned indicates that the parents of these unfortunate children saw in their continuing existence a threat to the sustenance of the entire family.
Changeling folklore not only explained why some children fail to grow and develop normally and helped to justify the extreme actions that may have been taken (whether in fact or only in fantasy) to free the parents or society from the burden of caring for handicapped children, it also provided protective measures against demonic exchange.

Changelings, contrary to popular belief, have a place in the World of Darkness, though at first glance that doesn't seem to be the case.
However, changelings live in mortal bodies, so they perceive the mortal world as underlying the enchanted world; their spirits, in essence, perceive chimera.
Most changelings can create minor chimera, such as clothes, but only special changelings can create great chimera, such as artifacts and creatures.

 Changelings
The changelings are weak at night, and unable to defend themselves; they are forced to assume the shapes of a variety of critters in order to flee and hide.
It requires 20 mana and five seconds for a changeling to assume any new form; during this time, the changeling will be visible and immobile, rendering it vulnerable, so be sure to find a location of relative safety before you undertake to change form.
The Hermit Crab also enjoys a faster rate of mana regeneration than the changeling's other forms, but as it is the only form that uses mana for anything other than morphing, you probably won't assume this shape just for the mana.

 Orkneyjar - Changelings and Trowie Bairns
At the root of the changeling folklore is undoubtedly the need to understand why a child failed to develop or was perhaps in some way different to its siblings.
Pregnancies were carefully concealed so the trows would not be alerted to any woman's condition and once a child had been safely delivered, family and neighbours took it in turns to rock the infant's cradle throughout the night.
This constant vigil ensured the infant was not stolen away or replaced by a changeling.
