The terrifying Naagloshii that stalked Virgil Cole resulting in his curse and the father of Cole’s adopted daughter, Orenda Peshlakai. A Naagloshii or Skinwalker is an immortal semidivine being with the ability to change shape. They are capable sorcerers that can use their own natural abilities. The more afraid you are, the more powerful they become. They have a horrific psychic stench and when seen with a wizard’s sight can be devastating and debilitating. Naagloshii get stronger by eating the essence of practitioners—they eat magic and add their victim’s power to their own. Eating a wizard gives the Naagloshii considerable power; therefore, a wizard’s power attracts Naagloshii, especially if the wizard is wounded. However, the longer the Naagloshii stay away from their home tribal lands, the more power they lose.
