in mythology i'm pretty sure that there is a monster that steals faces, does anyone know what it was called? also it can be from any mythology as long as it is real mythology not that Koh thing from Avatar.

I didn't get this idea from TV and i am possitive that i found out about this thing before, maybe in Greek/Roman mythology.

I'm can't give you a good example of a monster that *steals* faces--hopefully someone else can. The best I can come up with are shape-shifters that can take the shape of another person. In Greek mythology the god Proteus was able to do that (but not for long--he would keep morphing, which is where we get the word "protean" for "changeable"). In the Arthurian legends, a lot of the magic users would disguise themselves as someone's lover in order to sleep with someone (like, Morgause shape shifts into Guinevere to sleep with Arthur; Elaine shape shifts into Guinevere to sleep with Lancelot; Uther Pendragon shape shifts into the Duke of Cornwall to sleep with Ygraine, the Duchess of Cornwall).

You've been watching to many movies like " Face Off " Maybe it's not a myth but a prediction cuz they just transplanted a face in France.
