Supernatural Class Of Spooks 1: Shapeshifter


Shapeshifters entered into the Supernatural world as being that transform themselves to look exactly like anyone, or theoretically, any living thing.  Sam and Dean generally don't really have clue what they are.  As late as season 6, "the boys" are still speculating on what exactly they are, assuming "I thought they were mutants, like X men."  In "Two And Half Men"--they get a little more "schooled" on the subject--finding out that actually there is such a thing as "an alpha"--I first one.   Turns out that Dean is half right when he calls them mutants, since these alpha shapeshifters have gone around impregnating human females in order to create human shapeshifters....for some reason.  One thing is sure about these creatures, since they first appeared in "Nightshifter" in season 2, they have a strong penchant for crime; in that episode, one is attempting a jewelry heist.  They can be identified by lens flare of a camera lens when they look directly into one, Dean recognises one easily by glimpsing it's true self int a security camera in a supermarket in S6.  They can easily be killed with a knife to the throat.  They also have leave behind a nasty bi-product when they change....piles of gooey skin.

Ooooo!
