What is another name for a shape-shifter (for all those fantasy nerds out there like me)?

I'm writing a fantasy book where shape-shifters are included, but the title "shape-shifter" seems so common. Anyone know another name for it?

Reply:You could go with doppleganger. Or if it's like a werewolf sort of thing, then they are called lycanthropes. A simulacrum is a copy of a person. I've heard the term metamorph used, also.
