Please, am I allowed to change the species name to Skinwalker? According to Native American (the Navajo tribe) legends, these people who can shapeshift into an animal, are called Skinwalkers. Stephenie Meyer implied that they were Skinwalkers in the books, by clearing the fact that they can transform into a different animal then a wolf, but they have only shapeshifted into wolves so far in Breaking Dawn (at least, if my Dutch translated version told it correctly). This has been bothering me for a while, as I am quite a big fan of Fantasy novels and folklore. The Kelley Armstrong books and Wikipedia about Navajo legends confirm that the English name of these people are Skinwalkers. And please guys, no hate. I am just a (almost) nineteen year old who hates these mistakes (even when they are made by the author). I just want to say, that I have been obsessed with legends and all since I was six, so it kind of annoys me, knowing that even authors don't do research.

PS, am I the only one who thinks Stephenie Meyer's next book should be about faeries? Not the Tinkerbell kind, but the ones in like old folklore such as the Irish ones. There is almost NO love for faeries! They're wicked and cool, if you ask me...
