First and foremost among those is the yenaldooshi, native to the Navajo regions of the Southwest. Like some wendigo and the loupgarou, the yenaldooshi gains supernatural power by violating a serious cultural taboo, in this case murdering a relative. The yenaldooshi are shamans and necromancers who spread sickness by means of a powder made from corpses. For the Navajo, who revere pollen, this is a deep sacrilege. The yenaldooshi can also make tiny pellets out of bone. Get one of those under your skin, and you've got problems ahead. Most yenaldooshi can turn into coyotes, and some of them have other shape-changing abilities as well.
