Skinwalker

'Skinwalker' is a name that the Fandom wiki redirects to 'Shapeshifter', which itself redirects to 'Mimic' — all three names document the same in-game enemy.

Skinwalker is one of several names players search for a specific Animal Hospital (Anomaly) enemy — the official Fandom wiki actually redirects the 'Skinwalker' page to 'Shapeshifter', which in turn redirects to 'Mimic'. In other words, Skinwalker, Shapeshifter, and Mimic all document the same in-game creature: a disguised patient that suddenly transforms and attacks. This page exists to catch that naming confusion, but for the full behavior breakdown and response strategy, see the dedicated Mimic guide.
