Species

Appearance

They are hooved animals that have a lot of insect features, looking like a combination of pony and bugs.

Dark Changelings

Dark changelings are often black or a dark grey, with carapace-like, furless exteriors, webbed manes and tails, blue non-reflective eyes (unlike their queen's), fangs, bent horns, jagged ears, insect-like wings, and holes in their legs.

They feed with love whcih they suck out of their victims. They reproduce through eggs laid by their Queen, Chrysalis.

Reformed Changelings

Following their metamorphosis, changelings have varied coat colors and insect characteristics, such as Thorax and Pharynx's horns, and they no longer have fangs or holes in their bodies. They also have more physical differences among them: some possess longer, more jagged horns, and others no longer have horns at all. Others still no longer have tails. Some also have a trio of gemstone-like objects in their chests.

They no longer need to feed on love.

Kirinaria Changelings

Changelings from the Kirinaria Mercenary group don't need to feed on love, but they sometimes choose the appearance of dark changelings. For them, whether they look like a dark or reformed changeling is a choice. They can still suck the love out of someone if they want to, but they usually use this only in combat.

localization

before the great cataclysm

Settlement: The Changeling Kingdom, in the proximity of the Forest of Leota.

Relationship with grifix: They interacted with the grifix before the First Great Migration, but since they had no grifix interactions. While their Queen is aware of the grifix's existence, they take no interest on grifix.

After their metamorphosis they most probably don't even know that grifix exist.

Relationship with other species: They interact a lot with ponies after their metamorphosis.

Clothing and accessories: None

After the great cataclysm
