Twin. Doppelgänger, with an umlaut and a majuscule, is the German word for a ghostly double of a living person or more commonly simply a word for someone looking exactly like someone else, i.e. an impostor or double. It means "double (walker)", in the original. It is often said that one who sees their own Doppelgänger will die soon.
Line 8:
For twins related by blood, see [[Twin Tropes]]. See also [[Disguise Tropes]]. If a good character has an evil Doppelgänger, the Doppelgänger is an [[Evil Twin]].
=== Specific types of Doppelgängers include: ===▼
