Borderwalker

Borderwalkers are a race of supernatural beings featured in Supernatural: Coyote's Kiss

Background
Borderwalkers are found only in the deepest desert and are generally very shy, rarely making contact with living humans. But they are attracted by dying women and will often make an offer to either guide their soul. A normal Borderwalker is a shape-shifter, able to take on aspects of various desert animals such as the coyote, the scorpion or the rattlesnake.
 * Borderwalkers are only female.
 * A borderwalker can pass on its affliction only to a dying woman and thus relieve itself from this world. Since borderwalkers are mostly seen as coyotes, this process is called Coyote's Kiss.

Powers and Abilities

 * Apporting - Borderwalkers have the power to transport people and objects between worlds.


 * Superhuman Strength - Able to tear apart a large number of people with ease.
 * Shape Shifting - Can take on various monstrous forms like tarantulas or a scorpion with thousand tails or a vulture with a skull for a face.

Weaknesses

 * Obsidian Weapons - Weapons amde of obsidian rather than silver are more effective against Borderwalkers.
 * Marigold flowers - Marigold flowers offer protetcion against them.
 * Emotions - Since they are shape shifters in general but without rational thought, a Borderwalker can be made to revert to its human form by emotionally connecting with it, leaving it vulnerable to regular weapons.
 * Itztlitlantl - An ancient leaf shaped obsidian knife. Can, without a doubt, eliminate a borderwalker.
