Sith Witchling by

## Sith Witchling

The Sith Witchling is an experimental Sithspawn created through an unholy union between Sith Alchemy and Nightsister Magick during the Golden Age of the Old Republic. Rumored to be the brainchild of a Nightsister Sith Witch guided by the spirit of Sorzus Syn, the Sith Witchlings unlike other Sithspawn are cunning and intelligent hunters who serve their master's will as infiltrators and assassins. They have been designed to be highly efficient predators that can act autonomously for extremely long periods of time while remaining deep undercover amongst the other sentient races in the galaxy, sowing mistrust and chaos while quietly doing away with anyone that learn their true nature at their master's whims.

***Sinister Imitators*** Like other changlings in the galaxy such as the Clawdites and the Shi'ido, the Witchlings are masters of deception and impersonation allowing them to take the place of any humanoid individual down to their personality, the way they talked, and even the way they walked. They utilize their shape-shifting abilities in combat when needed such as transforming their clawed hands into hooks, flails, and potentially any other kind of weapon they can imagine. They completed the imperfections of their disguises with help from minor Magick illusions, making them in some ways superior to other changelings in the galaxy.

***Shadow Enforcers*** Along with their shape-shifting abilities, the Witchlings have an exceptional connection to the dark side of the force, enhanced by the Nightsister Magick that binds their very existence. They are capable of emitting their own aura of darkness when in their true form allowing them to entrap and torment their victims before coming in for the kill. Within their shadow fields they can become one with it and summon their own construct copies of their targets should they become too troublesome for the Sithspawn to deal with by themselves. Even if their prey overcomes and even kills a Witchling, they completely disintegrate leaving no evidence of their existence, even on electronic devices making them literal anomalies. While their main purpose is to create subterfuge, they make ferocious tomb guardians for important Sith tombs that contain relics such as crystals and holocrons.

***Perfect Organisms*** Upon their creations, the Sith Witchlings are some of the most unique and intelligent creations of the dark side. While fully capable by themselves the Witchlings prefer to torment their prey, seeming to play with them only utilizing their full abilities when absolutely necessary. This shows a disturbing layer of sentience that other Sithspawn rarely show, for they are fully capable of careful and strategic planning even without the guidance of their masters. It is even possible for them to establish criminal organizations or even potentially become ordinary citizens in the galaxy, only attacking in self defense once their true nature is revealed. Though due to their origins, there are very few of them. At the very most ten of them can exist at one time.

*Throughout my career, I've had my fair share of dangerous encounters. Assassin Droids, Flesh Raiders, a rogue Jedi or two. Hell, I helped kill a Hutt and lived to tell the tale. But nothing could've prepared me for the horrors that awaited us in that accursed Sith Tomb. Let me tell you, there are two things that have ever made me turn tail and run. An adult Rancor, and this, thing. With a Rancor at least you know what you are getting into, but with this? I cannot predict what it will do once I'm in its veil of darkness. It's the unknown that commands the greatest fear.*
