fleshgait
Fleshgait refers to a creature that lives in the wilderness, can perfectly mimic human voice and appearance by stealing a human's skin (and presumably killing them) but cannot recreate their behavior or memories perfectly/at all. They do learn quickly though. There's more, but that's the basic idea.
"Chris, fleshgaits aren't real."
"They totally are, I saw one!"
