Bandwagon

The bandwagon is a type of shapechanging Invidari demon, aka envy-demons. They are characterized primarily by their ability to continuously adapt their form and behavior to match prevalent social trends, ideologies, aesthetics, and personalities within their surroundings. Due to this, their original appearance or form is largely unknown. However, rare observations of their basic shape state describe them as vaguely humanoid figures with indistinct, rapidly-shifting features.   Bandwagons lack individual identity and rely entirely on imitation, gravitating towards whatever attracts social attention, popularity, or interest. Their transformations are deep, physical, easily convincing enough to infiltrate most groups and subcultures on all Levels of the Hells. They typically enhance the prominence or intensity of trends or ideologies they adopt, frequently escalating behaviors to extremes.   While inherently malicious, Bandwagons are not usually harmful. They are considered physically weak regardless of the form they take. However, their presence can destabilize communities by promoting irrational group behaviors, internal division, or confusion. Direct physical harm is uncommon unless it is an important part of an adopted trend.   Bandwagons are commonly seen on Level 5, where they may take roles as entertainers, influencers, or propagandists. In lower levels, they appear as charismatic leaders or revolutionaries. These individuals will rarely ever admit to being a bandwagon-demon, some of them even going so far as forgetting their original identity, embracing their new form permanently. They might act with genuine shock and confusion when they find they lack certain abilities, or are unable to breed with other members of the species they're imitating.
