The Changeling is a fictional character from The Elfstones of Shannara, an epic fantasy novel by Terry Brooks. As its name suggests, the Changeling could mimic the appearance of any living thing. Though he "had been denied the full use of his powers ", he was one of two Demons Dagda Mor brought out of the Forbidding to help him; this was due to how "the possibilities were endless. All things, whether human or animal, fish or fowl, no matter their size, shape, color or abilities — he could be any of them." His true appearance is entirely unknown.

Famous quotes containing the word changeling:
“We had to take the world as it was given:
The nursemaid sitting passive in the park
Was rarely by a changeling prince accosted,
The mornings happened similar and stark
In rooms of selfhood where we woke and lay
Watching today unfold like yesterday.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
