War of Shadows - Chapter 126

It seems the magical nature of the creatures exoskeleton is a means if disguise. It was discovered more by accident than purpose. In the last week we had discovered only that it was imbedded with some sort of illusion spell. As we prepared to dissect the creature an assistant brushed a hoof across it and the creature became a perfect copy.

Weather this is some cadaveric reaction or I mistook the creature for dead I do not know. It is currently locked away in isolation as we wait to see if there is any lasting effect of the transformation.

Well placed members of the castle staff, guard, and denizens of Canterlot proper have been informed to look for suspicious behavior. These creatures may be able to take on another’s appearance but there is much more to each one of my subjects than the color of their tail.

Author's Note:

I may not get another chapter posted for a while, my laptops fan is crapped out. I have a new one on the way but looking further into it the line of laptops is bad about overheating so it looks like it's gonna be a recurring thing.

It goes fast. I was in that same boat earlier, but most of the chapters are short so you fly through them.

Interesting that in this fanon, the Changeling illusion spell is an inherit feature of their biology rather than a specific spell they use. I wonder if that's the way in canon. (Not that I ever expect MLP to go into that sort of detail.)
