Description
The skinwalker is a terrifying sort of creature that dwells in the deep. While its exact origins are unknown, legend has it that they are some kind of spirit that is said to possess the flesh of the dead and drain them.

The first Skinwalker was discovered by Dr. Heinz Zielenhöffer when he discovered that a skinwalker would develop a ticklish sensation when he touched the stomach of a prisoner. He used this as a lure to catch it, and eventually, he discovered it had the ability to shake off the ticklish sensation by simply touching a table or other surface. After this, he dubbed this creature a Skinwalker.

The studies showed, that the KCP-002 is able to sense molecules including adrenaline, cortisol, and glucose in a person’s body and face. It is also capable of interacting with these molecules to discharge a massive shock that would cause the victim to go into shock.

They also found that the skinwalker has several glands and organs located beneath the skin that release hormones. This shows that they are in fact living, rather than just hallucinating. They also discovered several glands in the skinwalker’s body that are able to produce hydrogen cyanide gas, which can be easily released and burned on contact to cause respiratory failure.

The skinwalker is also extremely resistant to anesthesia, cold and heat, poison, alcohol, and even heartbreak. According to some accounts, if the skinwalker is taken to a hospital, they could live a full and healthy life.

The molecular structure of a skinwalker, it’s extremely similar to both humans and other animals, making it a mystery as to why this creature would be in existence. Even Dr. Zielenhöffer admitted he wasn’t able to figure out exactly why this creature was on Earth.
