'''Changelings''' are relatively harmless, semi-sentient creatures native to [[Lorwyn (plane)|Lorwyn]]. They can be difficult to find, but they are quite distinctive when they are found, given their appearance. A changeling's standard appearance is that of a squat, greenish-blue humanoid with slightly scaly skin, large eyes, a translucent body, and frequently a forked tail. Their most noteworthy attribute is their involuntary ability to assume the shapes and characteristics of the creatures around them. This occurs no matter what type of creature is around, to their pleasure or annoyance, and sometimes it can result some truly dramatic changes, ex. <card name="Changeling Titan">Changeling Titan</card>. It is believed they reproduce in the secret cave of [[Velis Vel]].

After the [[Great Aurora]], the changelings were transformed into [[Shadowmoor (plane)|Shadowmoor]]'s '''mimics''', aggressive and vicious creatures that attack in packs while taking forms that resemble warped reflections of their victims.

Shapeshifters are, as their name would imply, creatures and people who can change their shape at will.

Dominaria

Vesuva

Lorwyn

Changelings

Ravnica

Lupul

Lupul is a name derived from the Old Ravi word for "lurker". Found solely in Ravnica, Lupuls are shapeshifters that follow the vampire Szadek. In their natural forms, they have the form of a mass of blue-white worms that can move as a single creature with surprising speed and dexterity. In this form they are similar to insects and as such those akin to the bugs can communicate with them and to some extent control them, one such example is Jarad the devkarin hunter. They shapeshift by consuming others, and once they have consumed a living thing in their natural form, they can later change into that creature's form whenever they choose. Lupuls are extremely stealthy and nearly impossible to catch.

In the game, Lupuls are represented by the Dimir cards: Dimir Doppelganger and in the artwork of Mindleech Mass.
