Homebrew Facsimile Species Details

Facsimile are intelligent humanoids that gotten taken, trapped, and changed by the distant realm. The distant realm that is so frighteningly remote it is considered beyond the planes, a space where the rules of normal dimensions meant nothing. Facsimile were forced to be part of the madness there, where all the native creatures were alien and inchoate, and unspeakable entities whispered awful things to those who listened. Then spat out before fully transformed into residents of the distant plain. Now after coming back they can change there form to shape themselves to fit in with the locals, but are blind using a imperceptible tone to echolocate there surroundings, there sense of smell to know food from inanimate, and using the very skin to perceive every moving creature in a 60 foot area of them.

Appearance 

Facsimile can look like any run of the mill intelligent race of the realm but at not. That appearance is a fake, a falsity, a carefully laid trap to bring the denizens of the realm to create bonds of trust with them. There true form now is a blind abhorrent mass of sharp fangs, teeth, and claws. They have no truer form than that.

Personality

These are strange and malevolent seekers of knowledge. They take delight in revealing the existence of their horrifying, madness-inducing secrets of the distant realm they were trapped in. But more than anything they just want to satisfy there hunger. They are gluttons for meat, any meat will do animal or human, living or dead, rotten or newborn. Some Facsimile have a glimmer of there life before the distant realm and won't stop to the lows of eating intelligent species but it's rare and also a rule that with enough time may be lost.
