Line 98:
* ''[[Changeling: The Lost]]'', being about [[The Fair Folk]] and their victims, emphasizes the ties between [[Alien Abduction]] and the old faerie myths -- some Keepers are described as androgynous, slender beings that put their victims through strange examinations involving horrifying equipment, and the Wizened in the illustrations appear to be a mixture of traditional goblins and [[The Greys]]. Of course, the book goes on to say in a sidebar that not ''all'' alien abductions in the ''[[New World of Darkness|World of Darkness]]'' may be the fault of [[The Fair Folk]]....
* In the world of ''[[Pathfinder]]'', hapless people sometimes disappear from their homes, only to reappear sometime later with mysterious surgical scars and no recollection of what happened beyond vague nightmares of short gray-skinned creatures with bulging eyes... except instead of aliens from outer space, they've been abducted by derros, [[The Fair Folk|fey-like humanoids]] from [[Beneath the Earth]]. A [[Shout-Out]] to the literature of Richard Sharpe Shaver and his "deros", which may have inspired the idea of [[The Grays]] in the first place.
* The Dark Eldar in [[Warhammer 40,000]] kidnap members of other races. They also have a bit of a [[Fair Folk]] motif, giving a there usage of this trope at least some of a [[Changeling Tale]] flavor. Getting kidnapped by a Dark Eldar easily falls into a [[Fate Worse Than Death]].
