Doppelgänger

Doppelgängers (ドッペルゲンガー, Dopperugengā) are a race of shape shifters from YGGDRASIL.

Appearance
Distinguishing a doppelgänger from a real person is difficult due to their shapeshifting abilities, but the original appearance of those from YGGDRASIL seems to be humanoid with thin claw-like hands. However, their faces resemble that of an egg with three holes in the place of its mouth and eyes.

Types of Doppelgängers
Doppelgänger: In terms of appearance, a doppelgänger had three fingers on each hand.

Greater Doppelgänger: Unlike a doppelgänger, a greater doppelgänger has four fingers on each hand and has the ability to copy the abilities and 80 percent of the power output of the form they mimic.

Abilities
Doppelgängers are look upon as being masters of shapeshifting. With the right skill, doppelgängers are capable of transforming their bodies to take on any form and skill if they wish.

When taking on a form different from their original, doppelgängers could only copy up to level forty abilities. Still, they were even weaker without transformation.

Nonetheless, the doppelgängers' more potent abilities was how it could freely make use of karma-restricted gear. That said, it could not use magic items above relic-class.
