Type Plant/Humanoid

There are two "different" Doppleganger monsters in Fighting Fantasy: one in Return to Firetop Mountain (book) and another in Eye of the Dragon (book) (and Titan Herbal).

In Return to Firetop Mountain, the Doppelganger is a ghost-like impostor. Doppelgangers always have green eyes.[1]

In Eye of the Dragon, the Doppleganger is a corporeal creature two metres tall with large scarlet scales covering its massive chest and an ovesized, pulsating skull. It's eyes are large and red-veined, and its mouth is small but crammed with long needle-like fangs in it's natural form.[2] The Titan Herbal links the generation of this creature to the Soulpod Plant.[3]

In Deathtrap Dungeon the Doppleganger Potion can be encountered, but no Doppleganger creature.[4]

Origins and Distribution[]

Special Abilities[]

In Return to Firetop Mountain, if the flesh of a Doppelganger touches the flesh of his victim, then the victim is doomed to immaterial existence in a twilight world, unless the victim pierces the Doppelgangers ethereal heart first. Hitting the Doppelganger anywhere else will not kill him.[5]

In Eye of the Dragon, a Doppleganger has the ability to take the appearance of a particular person. It can also attack mentally its opponents. An opponent would lose two skill each round to combat the mental power.[6]
