Changeling horror concept

Haven't worked this up, but: a named horror that steals children and replaces them with an obvious horror construct. Obvious to everyone but the parents, who are convinced it is still their child. In the meantime, the horror raises the child as foul folk. It marks the child, uses karma tap, etc, perhaps has it trained as an adept. Spreads terror and its influence throughout Barsaive. The adepts encounter this horror through the community with the horror construct that the parents are defending to the death, or through the foul folk scouting out new communities for the horror to infiltrate.

Such a good and horrible idea. Children stolen and trained by a horror would be so tragic.
I'm not sure about the replacing children with an obvious horror construct, maybe it shouldn't be too obvious. A check vs spell defense perhaps would tear whole villages apart, as some see a horror construct and some don't.

I agree, making the construct too obvious would short circuit a lot of the potential. I think perhaps that the construct should start off for all intents and purposes appearing and functioning as a normal child. Very gradually, the construct will grow and become more destructive, start doing worse and worse things, and its appearance should slowly start to degrade along with that. It needs to happen slowly enough that the parents believe it is still their child and form a solid connection to it, and then slowly make exceptions and excuses in their head for dealing with the behavior. This anguish will feed the Horror and in turn help fuel the corruption of their real child. Long-time outside observers will notice more of the problems, but not as much as someone that comes upon the construct without ever seeing its earlier stages. Perhaps giving the construct a bit of illusion magic at the late stages would also help spread the confusion more.

Rajaat idea would preserve the point to a certain extent; but the parents should feel almost completely isolated.
