April Fools! Welcome back to another installment of Shimario's Rap Battles! Today we have a battle between two forest dwellers with VERY subtle similarities. We have the Original Starwalker, the goofy easter egg hidden in the Card Kingdom's forest of Deltarune, and the Navajo Skinwalker, the folktale witch doctors of the Navajo culture. Comment down below who you think won the battle, and feel free to leave suggestions for future battles as well!

about:
starwalker is a hidden darkner npc, who can first appear in the card kingdom's forest. in chapter 2, starwalker can also become a key item. starwalker has the appearance of a yellow five-pointed star with eyes, but the two lower points are replaced by legs. their eyes generally appear grumpy. they have no arms. starwalker likes to stress that they are the original starwalker. starwalker's dialogue often includes a very large gap between words, often emphasizes words in yellow, and capitalizes random words. in chapter 1, in the area with the starwalker bird, if the party backtracks after ringing the bell, starwalker is found on the other side of the path (this can be done from either direction). if spoken to, starwalker states that the birds are "pissing [them] off", declaring that they are the original starwalker.
in navajo culture, a skin-walker is a type of harmful witch who has the ability to turn into, possess, or disguise themselves as an animal. navajo witches, including skin-walkers, represent the antithesis of navajo cultural values. while community healers and cultural workers are known as medicine men and women, or by other positive, nurturing terms in the local, indigenous language, witches are seen as evil, performing twisted ceremonies and manipulating magic in a perversion of the good works medicine people traditionally perform. in order to practice their good works, traditional healers learn about both good and evil magic. most can handle the responsibility, but some people can become corrupt and choose to become witches. animals associated with witchcraft usually include tricksters such as the coyote; however, it may include other creatures, usually those associated with death or bad omens. they might also possess living animals or people and walk around in their bodies. skin-walkers may be male or female. skin-walker stories told among navajo children may be complete life and death struggles that end in either skin-walker or navajo killing the other, or partial encounter stories that end in a stalemate. encounter stories may be composed as navajo victory stories, with the skin-walkers approaching a hogan and being scared away.
