A Skinwalker is a figure from Navajo folklore, often described as a witch or sorcerer who has the ability to transform into various animals. This shape-shifting ability is believed to be used for malevolent purposes, such as harming others or gaining power. The concept is deeply rooted in Navajo culture and is often associated with taboos and the misuse of spiritual practices. In addition to their shape-shifting abilities, Skinwalkers are said to possess supernatural powers, including speed and stealth. They are often depicted as being able to mimic the sounds of animals or even human voices to lure victims. The fear surrounding Skinwalkers has led to numerous stories and legends within Native American communities.
