Skinwalker

The Skinwalkers are believed to be the first druids, the first to teach humans the ability to wildshape and speak with the essence of animals.

While many traditional stories point to a peaceful coexistence between humans and skin walkers in the past, recent rumors and tales indicate a much bloodier relationship.

Even most orders of druids seem to have severed all ties from the old teachings of the skin walkers, focusing mostly on essence.
