Changelings to describe non-changeling supernaturals that do not belong in any dreaming-related catagory. This includes werewolves and other [[shapeshifter]] breeds, [[mages]], [[vampires]], [[demons]], and [[hunters]].

==Origin of the term Prodigal==

The idea of "prodigal son" is exploited in this name, because changelings tend to think that if it's supernatural, it has to fit into changeling history as a branch of the changeling family. As such, certain legends make assumptions that could easily be proved wrong by any other supernatural.

==Mages==

Mages are viewed cautiously from a changeling perspective, and are seen in different light depending on how banal they are as individuals. For example, a [[Cult of Ecstasy]] and especially [[Dreamspeakers]] are welcomed, while [[Virtual Adepts]] are virtually non-existant in the changeling world. To explain a mage, changelings often lump them in with the "naturally [[enchanted]]" clause, excusing inherent ability to use [[glamour]] (which is uncannily like [[quintessence]]) as the root of mage's reality-warping abilities.

[[Marauder]]s are seen as both boon and danger, as they almost entirely lack [[banality]], but are a danger to themselves and society, and could as easily destroy a changeling as power them up.

[[Technocrats]] are despised universally by changelings. Thier presence in a room is so banality-laden that the changeling's [[chimerical self]] may completely retreat in order to protect her identity and nature.

==[[Garou]] and Other [[Shapeshifters]]==

Changelings view the shapeshifting breeds as errant [[pooka]], who separated in ancient history by preferring to retain a mixed-form and physical body.

==[[Vampires]]==

Changeling lore states that [[vampires]] are a result of an oath a redcap took to a lord which he broke in a terrible fashion. Specifically, a [[redcap]] who swore an oath of obediance and friendship to a [[sidhe]] lord killed his lordship and dyed the traditional red cap in his lordship's blood. The mark of Cain, then, is an ongoing problem relating to this great broken oath.

Vampires and changelings, in general, do not get along. there's not much more banal than a creature that must live by consuming the life of others and, what's more, is technically dead.

==Hunters==

Changelings don't always see hunters as supernatural, just somehow blessed by some other sight. In some cases, they may refer to a [[hunter]] as a *[[Dauntain|Dauntain]], or changeling who works to destroy changelings as a whole.

==Demons==

Demons are completely lacking in the [[changeling]] worldview. Changelings do not know that [[Demons]] exist, and if they do find one, the banal presence of a demon acts on them in a similar way to the banal presence of a [[technocrat]].

==Wraiths and other Ghosts==

While not prodigal, per se, wraiths are occasionally encountered by changelings. The [[sluagh]] in particular are in contact with the spirits of dead mortals. Wraiths are not by definition banal, but are distinctly unnerving to changelings, as Changeling ghosts do not exist.
