The Stikini are witches from Seminole folklore. During the day, they resemble average people. At night, they vomit up their souls and turn into undead owl creatures that eat human hearts.

Another of the Stikini, witches from Seminole folklore that appear human during the day and morph into undead owl-beings at night.

This witch was an exploration into how to make a character as alluring as they are scary, using the pose language of contortionists and dead birds.

Time for some spooks!
The Stikini are witches from Seminole folklore. Appearing human during the day, Stikini vomit up their souls (and internal organs) at night, morphing into undead owl-beings with a taste for human hearts.

Stikini, heart-hungry owl-creature in Seminole lore. By day a human, at night it vomits up its soul & organs, hides them in a tree, changes into its true form, & takes off to hunt, feeding on human hearts, which it plucks out by reaching down sleepers' throats.
