Within Papi’s canon rogue changelings can be extremely dangerous, and should be regarded with caution.  Changelings feed off of love out of necessity, because it is readily available within a hive and rapidly replenished.  Without a source of love a changeling will eat most anything, and often will consume most, if not all, of the resources within its environment in a very short time.  Without a constant supply of food a changeling will become virtually feral in its drive to get sustenance.

A rogue changeling that has left its hive, either by banishment or volition, has to be extremely diligent to keep from being detected and ousted if they are feeding off of others’ love.  If they are feeding off of other sources then they need to avoid settling down in a single place, as their food supply will not last long.

In Papi’s canon rogue or hiveless changelings do exist, but they are not common.  Usually they are the ones who end up attacking ponies or others in an attempt to feed.  A rogue changeling will generally try to find a companion of one form or another to feed off of while they can and do what they can to maintain positive relations with said companion, lest their supply of love be cut off.

Because the bulk of what happens in Papi’s hive is within a hive setting rogue changelings are not really a problem.  The few that have been involved in the blog have been so as converts or refugees to Papi’s hive.
