don't be surprised if the npcs really like having their kind around, i'm just saying.

Shapechangers could be cool, but no-- Yugo's hatched out of an egg. His 'parents' are the Eliatrope goddess and the Dragon, sorta like yin and yang. As with Qilby and a couple of the other original six Eliatropes, they get reincarnated every time they die, and pop out of an egg again with their dragon sibs. It's pretty neat.
