Changelings

"The scum o' the fairy" the Irish call the Changelings. Probably one of the most well-known fae species, the Changelings are those swapped out with babies of humans in the early months of their lifespan. Maliciously done by affiliates of the Unseelie Court, they are born for one purpose and that is to create chaos in their human hosts' lives.

Most Changelings do not survive and are killed off by their human families. This, however, causes the baby in the Land of Faerie to wither as well, and turn to dust. This isn't profitable for the fae of the Unseelie Court, so they hope that the unlucky families don't cave in to the desire of rotten murder.

Physical Shapeshifters
Their most powerful ability is their plain ability to shapeshift. Most Fae know some form of glamour spells but Changelings are the best at it, given their namesake, because it isn't a spell for them its a full on physical transformation.

Elder Changelings
Changelings that make it to older lifespans are often sought after by the Collective of the Unseelie Court to come back to their Court and serve as powerful and important parts of the hive. Often, adult changelings serve as all seeing eyes and provide an in for the Unseelie Court to keep a foothold in human society.
