The Skinwalker Hunt Mod Wiki & Guide

During daylight, Skinwalkers are disguised perfectly as normal farm animals and villagers—there's no visual way to identify them. Your best defense is to avoid hitting animals you don't recognize or seem out of place, since attacking them will force them to reveal their true form.

You likely either struck the animal, it became nighttime, or you were in a dark cave—all three conditions trigger a Skinwalker's transformation into its tall monstrous form. Once transformed, it will pursue you aggressively with fast melee attacks.

Yes—Skinwalkers break nearby blocks and can scale walls up to five blocks high while chasing you, so they can breach most player structures. Building with obsidian or creating deep moats are effective ways to slow or stop them.

Every melee hit inflicts both Nausea and Blindness, severely impairing your ability to fight back or escape. Drink milk immediately to cleanse these effects, then retreat to a well-lit area or your base.
