There is a Native American belief that some can turn into an animal by wearing the animal's pelt, those who could do this were called Skinwalkers.
There was once a man named Acotos who was considered a Skinwalker. He turned into many animals but preferred the horse overall. Horses were brave and strong. They showed trust to the humans by allowing them to ride on their backs and loyalty by running into battle. They were also very fast and could keep up with the mighty bison. To Acotos there was nothing a horse couldn't do. Acotos was proud of his gift. He boasted often to his tribe. Most tribe members did not pay him any attention when he boasted, all except a few. A warrior named Ahiga grew tired and jealous of Acotos. So one day Ahiga and those who supported himfollowed Acotos down to the stream where Acotos would into a horse and run across the water to the giant field beyond it. Ahiga and his men waited for Acotos to return and take human forum again. While Acotos began to take his human forum Ahiga and his men attacked Acotos and tore the horse pelt off of Acotos's back. Acotos was stuck in a half man half horse state. No matter how many times he put the horse pelt back on he could not change. The tribe looked down at Acotos now in disgust. He was no longer man. So the tribe cast Acotos away. The only one who saw him as who he once was was his wife. Together they found a new home. From then on all of Acotos's children were born with the same traits as their father; horse ears and tail, hands formed with the frog of a horse's hoof in the palms of their hands and feet, hoof like nails, and occasionally a line of fur that started from their tail trailing up their spine.
Acotos Nation is a nation of many different tribes of similar traits and beliefs. There are three different tribes; Gomda Tribe found in the valley, Atohi Tribe found in the forest, and Acaraho Tribe found in the mountains. Overall they are a Native American based people with horse features. They believe in many gods and goddesses. Each tribe having their own main god/goddess. Mostly they live at peace with each other but small fights will occur between tribes. The Acotos People's biggest enemy is the Mani Warg. Strange pale faced men that live in the West.
