Lost Child

Lost children are human kids who have refused to grow up, becoming ageless. Magical rituals, both purposeful and accidental, can cause this effect, as can the unique properties of different realms.

Regardless of their chronological age, they still act like children. They form their own semitribal societies hidden from the adult world.
