Today's Prompt: Tell me about one of your favourite mythological figures!: Going with creature instead of figure since It's hard for me to choose a figure exactly. Changelings! I've always had great comfort with the changeling mythology ever since I was a child.
Changelings are fae children which have been put in the place of human babies, and grow differently; including physical aspects as well as mental aspects. One of the big tells of a changeling child in irish and scottish mythology is that they display behavior such as jumping, dancing, or playing instruments when believed to be alone. Additionally, in some stories changelings are identified due to having a horrible smell all of the time. In other stories, changeling children never grow up at all! I always have found comfort in these stories in a strange way, so I've always really leaned towards them moreso than any other mythological figure!
