9	''Otherworldly'' is an UrbanFantasy webcomic about five twenty-something young adults who have recently found out they're not human; they're "changelings", members of TheFairFolk who were swapped as infants with human babies. With the help of two fairy private investigators, the changelings try to figure out who they are in the magical Otherworld, all while juggling life in the human world and encountering sinister figures in ''both'' worlds.

14	!!''Otherworldly'' contains examples of:
15
16	%%* Action Girl: Nicole, and to a lesser extent Erin.
17	* AllTrollsAreDifferent: Trolls here seem to be aesthetically based on those found in Scandinavian lore, are capable of turning to stone, and some possess SuperStrength.

19	%%* AmicablyDivorced: Jerome's human parents.
20	%%* AgentMulder: Ricki.
21	%%* BigEater: Lacey.

24	* CoordinatedClothes: Aelfric and Wulfric always wear similar outfits, with Aelfric in gold and Wulfric in silver.
25	* DumbassDJ: Barry's radio show co-host, Gil, bordering on ShockJock with his rather homophobic/biphobic jokes.
26	* ElementalShapeshifter: Trolls, such as the Fjell clan, can turn to stone.
27	%%* ExtraOreDinary: Jerome.
28	* TheFairFolk: All magical races are referred to under this title, though they're more morally diverse than traditional depictions.
29	* FallingChandelierOfDoom: Nicole takes this a step further by ''using said chandelier as a makeshift flail.''
30	* FantasyCounterpartCulture: Venusberg is clearly the Otherworld's equivalent to Las Vegas. Barry even makes the comparison.

33	%%* GeneHunting
34	%%* GenericEthnicCrimeGang: The Unseelie Mob.
