A shape shifter is a person who is able to transform themselves into any animal, or in some legends only particular animals.
These creatures differ from werewolves because shape shifters have the ability to control where and when they transform, unlike werewolves.
It it said that if you look a shape shifter in the eye, you will die because shape shifters are evil creatures who usually take revenge on certain people and put dishonor on cattle.
In some Native American legends, a shapeshifter is a person with supernatural abilities that enable them to turn into any animal as along as they have a patch of the animal on them to be able to transform.
The shapeshifter is or was a shaman in its human life and as a rite of passage, he kills his entire family to drain the souls and is then allowed to start to transform.
Shapeshifters are also able toe mimic voices that are familiar to you and to catch your attention.
If hunting this creature with a group, only talk via walky talkies because of its skills and silver is its only weakness when in its animal state but you have to be cautious, if you injure a shapeshifter and meet a person with the same injury, do not trust that person.
