Being essentially an upgraded Haunted, the Doppelgangers can be killed instantly with fire regardless of health.
A reliable way to kill the Doppelganger is to use block skills like Riposte, Deadly Riposte and Gladiator's Defense, and stand close to the Doppelganger so it can attack you with its axe to ensure you can block it. Be sure to bring enough blocking skills to always have one active.
Surprisingly, the fear of doppelgangers has been around for longer than you think. Doppelgangers were thought to be bad omens or beings who want to take over your life or are just generally ill-intentioned. The main superstition is that if the doppelgangers see each other either one or both will die shortly after.
Seeing Your Doppelgänger Is An Omen of Death
According to both English and German folklore, seeing your doppelgänger often means that death will soon follow — even more so if you see them more than once.
except they're not related to you or connected to you in any way? Believe it or not, scientists say that statistically, every person has roughly SIX doppelgangers out there in the world. That means there are seven people with your face, including you, out there.
The doppelganger can use its action to polymorph into a Small or Medium humanoid it has seen, or back into its true form. Its statistics, other than its size, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.
Their immortality had violated Nature's law that all living things must die, and so the doppelgängers came to exist as versions of Silas, Amara, and Ismene that could die.
How likely is it that you actually have a doppelgänger? According to one study, the likelihood of two people sharing the exact facial features is less than 1 in 1 trillion. Put another way, there is only a one in 135 chance that a single pair of doppelgängers exists on our planet of more than 7 billion people.
The doppelgangers are born when Nature creates mortal shadow selves of Silas and Amara that will live a natural life and die in their place, to restore the balance of life and death. Over centuries, identical versions of Silas and Amara have been born and drawn to each other.
Even with 7.4 billion people on the planet, that's only a one in 135 chance that there's a single pair of doppelgangers. “Before you could always be questioned in a court of law, saying 'well what if someone else just looks like him? ' Now we can say it's extremely unlikely,” says Teghan.
As for why they escaped, Adelaide and the Tethered doppelgängers want the Untethering, which involves killing their aboveground counterparts and possibly taking their places.
The doppelganger can use its action to polymorph into a Small or Medium humanoid it has seen, or back into its true form. Its statistics, other than its size, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.
Given that there's about 8 billion people on the earth, that's a roughly 0.11 percent chance of any given person having a “twin stranger.” Or, in other words, for any group of 10,000 people, about 11 of them should have a doppelgänger.
Doppelganger, also known as Deathvoid, is a Demon composed of shadow that takes the same shape of his foes by refracting light in various directions. He is encountered as a boss in Devil May Cry 3 and Devil May Cry HD Collection.
Age. Doppelgangers live until partway through their second century after "coming of age," but become mature at the age their parent race does. Alignment.
Tatia. The first Petrova doppelgänger, Tatia, lived during the late 10th/early 11th century.
doppelgänger, (German: “double goer”), in German folklore, a wraith or apparition of a living person, as distinguished from a ghost. The concept of the existence of a spirit double, an exact but usually invisible replica of every man, bird, or beast, is an ancient and widespread belief.
Now, new research suggests that doppelgängers have more in common than meets the eye. People with very similar faces also share many of the same genes and lifestyle traits, according to a new paper published Tuesday in the journal Cell Reports.
Doppelgangers are asexual. or omnisexual. They do not have a fixed gender. A GM can interpret this to mean that Dopplegangers reproduce as he or she sees fit.
Doppelgängers (German for “double walker”) are non-biologically related lookalikes – they are not genetically related to you nor do they have any connection to your family history, but for some odd reason, have similar features to you.
They found that there's about a one in 135 chance that a pair of complete doppelgängers exist somewhere in the world. But the likelihood of someone walking around looking identical to you, specifically, in all eight facial features is only one in 1 trillion.
The doppelgangers' weaknesses are greed and cowardice. They spend their lives in avid pursuit of gold and other wealth. If attacking a group of adventurers, for example, they often choose the richest-looking one to attack first.

The researchers found that some doppelgangers share characteristics in genes that are responsible for facial features. These genes can also affect behavioural traits - and shared behavioural traits between the doppelgängers were also verified by the researchers.
Since few doppelgangers have a taste for flesh, this is an uncommon occurrence. Few greater doppelgangers are anything but evil and depraved. They seek out new victims to devour and gain the memories of, taking the doppelganger habit of using people to a logical, consumptive conclusion.
