The native American boogeyman
Yee Naaldlooshii aka "with it, he goes on all fours"
Presently Known Facts:
They corrupt the natural Order of things.
To become one you must commit the most vilest of deeds – the killing of a close family member, most often a sibling.
Skinwalkers can control the mind.
Navajo Rangers use law enforcement codes that to refer to them.
If one is to "lock eyes" with them they can take possession of the body.
They are said to engage in necrophilia with female corpses and commit cannibalism, incest, and grave robberies.
The Skinwalker can control the creatures of the nature, such as wolves and owls, and make them do their desires. Some can call up the spirits of the dead and reanimate the corpses to attack their enemies.
They make sounds around homes, such as knocking on windows, banging walls, and scraping noises on the roof. On some occasions, they have been spied peering through windows. More often, they appear in front of vehicles in hopes of causing a serious accident.
They can transform into any creature, including a coyote, wolf, bear, crow, or owl. They generally use this power to harm people or animals.
They have been observed entering homes through tiny holes and stealing the children that reside there.
They wear the skins of the animals they transform into, hence, the name Skinwalker. Sometimes, they also wore animal skulls or antlers atop their heads, giving them more power.
They can appear in homes as black shadows moving about on those afflicted.
They can appear translucent.
They cause death and sickness.
They kill out of greed, anger, envy, spite, or revenge.
They can and quite frequently appear as upright canines.
Its supernatural powers are uncanny, as they are said to run faster than a car and have the ability to jump high cliffs. They are extremely fast, agile, impossible to catch, and leave tracks larger than animals. When seen, they have been described as not quite human and not fully animal. They are usually naked, but some have seen the creature wearing tattered shirts or jeans. Oddly enough checked shirts is a common theme.
Skinwalkers and other witches have long been blamed for unexpected struggles and tragedies, including sickness, drought, poor crops, and sudden deaths. Even smaller or individual problems, such as windstorms during dances, alienation of affection by mates, the death of livestock, and reversal of fortune, were often believed to be a witch’s work.
They can assume a myriad of forms usually beastly though I've talked to one witness that encountered a white tarantula during an episode of a curse.
It should also be known that Navajo cultural values do not involve putting up with witchcraft, which includes Skinwalkers, and when a person does become a Skinwalker, they need to be dealt with swiftly.
