Skinwalker (Yee Naaldlooshii)

A malevolent shapeshifting witch figure from Navajo tradition, said to be able to take animal form; the ranch's modern name is drawn from this legend, though its specific application to the property is a late-20th-century popular attachment rather than a documented ancient association.
