[[Image:Backcover-FOOLS-ERRAND.jpg|thumb|350px|An Other on the Treasure Beach by [[John Howe]]]]
Encountered on the [[Treasure Beach]] by [[Kennit]], who sails there, and by [[Fitz]] and [[Dutiful]] who travel through a [[skill-pillar]]. There is some suggestion that they are the offspring of [[dragons]] who spent too much time in human company and who , therefore take taking on some human characteristics; much as [[Elderling]]s did in reverse, or perhaps more like the [[Rain Wilds]] residents who become somewhat deformed, rather than elevated like the Elderlings.
== Appearance and Attributes ==The Others are somewhat frogdescribed as a mixture between human and fish. They have fish-like in appearance and flat eyes on the front of their bald, misshapen heads. Their thin lips barely conceal rows of sharp teeth with jaw hinges sitting below ear holes. Their mouths can open wide enough to fit a human head inside. Others have a slug-like body that they drag around and worm-like, unfolding upper appendages that seem boneless. The hands are webbed digits and venonous claws. They are gray-green with stiff gray tongues. Their body is gleams damply where they are not covered by cloaks, presumably [[Elderling]] clothes.They have the [[Skill]] or some similar magic to a dragon's glamour, which they use to alter their appearance to the minds of the unwary. They are terrified of cats.
