Hoodoos

The Hoodoos are a species of humanoids which live amongst the Gargoyle Spires, part of the canyon system neighboring The City. While in their natural form, they are hairless, and their Genderless, have swirling orange-ish tan patterns which match the canyon spires surrounding them. Their race functions as humans, but for the exception that they have a particular shapeshifting ability that allows them to mimic the appearance of any other humanoid, or near humanoid that they see.

They prey on groups of travelers by picking them off one by one and replacing them with a member of their own group, shaped to match who was lost. Occasionally, they mess up, perhaps the shirt color was incorrect, which can allow detection, but they are mostly accurate in appearance. They can not match the personality or voice of their subjects, which is where most are caught in the act.

They usually take their prey captive, and steal all of their stuff. It is not known what they do with their captives, however, it is rumored that they eventually eat their captives. This is not confirmed.
