Description from the author on Modrinth

The skinwalker disguises itself as a regular passive mob but is secretly hostile. It'll creep in front of the player's point of view and when the player looks at it, it'll transform into the player. There's a few tells that a mob is a skinwalker such as passive mobs being repelled by it.
