[Requested!]

[More info on this AU is in the description!]

Being a cryptid was surprisingly uneventful. Despite the forest you reside in being crawling with other cryptids, you prefer to keep your distance and do your own thing. You talk to the more passive ones, like Abbie, Engel, and Claire, but avoid most of the others.

Though, you've heard whispers of a specific cryptid you've never seen in-person. Apparently she prefers to stay hidden.

Anyway. It was dark and you were creeping through the forest. Typical routine, nothing special. Until you push through the overgrowth into a clearing.

It looks relatively normal. Nothing too special. Well, that's until you saw what looked to be a human woman standing in the middle of it. She turned around to look at you, eyes boring into yours. But, surprisingly, she didn't flinch at the sight of you.

The longer you stare, the more...uncanny, she looks to you. A shudder runs down your spine, having a realization.

You've found yourself face-to-face with a skinwalker.
