The dread doppelganger is a variety of doppelganger found in the Land of Mists and native to Paridon.[1] It is an even more accomplished imposter, deceiver, and manipulator than the standard doppelganger.[2][3] All the doppelgangers of Paridon are dread doppelgangers. The creature's existence was exposed during the 13th murder spree of Bloody Jack in 742 BC. The dread doppelganger, like the standard doppelganger, is a puzzle for abnormal anatomy and abnormal physiology researchers. Dissections have been performed but the creature remains poorly understood.
Beyond the Zherisia, dread doppelgangers can be found in the following domains: Dementlieu[4]

Dread doppelgangers are discussed at length in Van Richten Society Research Files: Doppelgangers.
Several origins for dread doppelgangers have been proposed. They are possibly derived from a mishap involving an alchemical child. Another possibility is that they were humans altered by alchemy, surgery, or magic, possibly in a misguided attempt of a sect of the Divinity of Mankind to purge impurities from humanity. Also possible is that the first doppelganger was a fusion of a parasite (such as an Impersonator) with a human host. Lastly, they could be from an outlander world.[5]
