When I first saw the flashback in the episode of ''Series/{{Highlander}}'' in which Duncan is banished from his family and village for being a "changeling", I didn't think much about it. Okay, the concept of a fairy changeling fits in with the Celtic culture of the Highlands. Later, I realized that -- Highlander Immortals ARE changelings, specifically human-fae hybrids! It explains so much. Most cultures in the world have myths and legends about immortal, supernatural beings analogous to elves and fairies, so this theory works everywhere, not just in Britain and Europe. All Highlander Immortals whom we're aware of are orphans whose parents are unknown. Because the fae don't want halfbreeds among them, they foist these babies onto human families as changelings. Because they don't want too many of the halfbreeds around to cause trouble, they invented and promulgated the Game with that ridiculous "There Can Be Only One" premise, to get the halfbreeds to kill each other off. And of course the fairy genes account for their longevity and the difficulty of killing them. Can't have children? Most interspecies hybrids are sterile.

[[WMG:Immortals are Cylons]]
On Series/BattlestarGalactica2003, Earth is settled by a crew of humans and Cylons. One of the Final Five Cylons, Galen Tyrol, decides to live "on an island by one of the northern continents." After settling there, he becomes an ancestor of the Clan MacLeod and, more broadly, Immortals themselves.

He seems to be as old as Western civilization, and according to Wiki/TheOtherWiki he has spent time in the Middle East, so he'd have had plenty of opportunity to inspire the legends of Cain or the Wandering Jew.

* Another option would be if their structural integrity is greater than a normal human's. They get blown up or splattered, they may be badly burned or have bones shatter into pieces, but those pieces stay inside their bodies. Maybe their skin is extra-tough on the inside, holding the limbs together after the bones break. Maybe it's just a part of their magic that only a direct cut, either extremely strong/sharp/heavy and hitting ''exactly'' the right spot, or made by another Immortal in combat, can sever their limbs or necks either one.

** Kirk Matunas was stabbed in the gut. Gut wounds can take ''days'' to kill, with the main dangers being sepsis from the ruptured intestines. With modern surgery and antibiotics, surviving such a sound is entirely plausible.

Eventually as they live through the centuries, They eventually start growing older. This is why Ramirez looks significantly older than the other Immortals. He's been around longer than the rest. Immortality slows down the aging process, but doesn't eliminate it all together.

Think about it. How careful would immortals have to be to not lose any appendages during centuries or millenia of existence? These beings regularly engage in sword fights, fall off buildings, in addition to all the other mundane accidents that happen to normal people. Methos should have looked like a quadruple amputee by now. Duncan in one episode allows himself to be blown up to kill Hitler. Yet Xavier Saintcloud is the only immortal we saw with a severed limb from his previous battle with Duncan, and every single immortal we've seen has all their limbs and body parts intact, not even missing a few fingers. In one episode Amanda was joking with Duncan that they could jump off the Eiffel Tower and they would be fine. A fall like that would splatter their bodies at worst or in the very least sever some limbs, and yet Duncan only concern was that it would hurt. My theory is that immortals can regenerate limbs and heal any injury; it just takes a lot longer for their bodies to make the new marrow, nerves and bone to make the new limb, in the same way they regenerate the new skin and muscle tissue to heal their wounds. It might also depend on the age and power of the Immortal, and how large the limb is. A severed finger could be grown back in a few months or years, but a whole hand could takes decades. Saintcloud's hand hadn't grown back because either too little time had passed, Xavier wasn't old or powerful enough to speed up the process, or the prosthetic limb he had in place was perhaps interfering with the regrowing, or a combination of all three.
