First of all, I would like to thank you for accepting my application for this site.
Second of all, dude! This lore is awesome!
So here is my general idea:
It is the literal take on the idea of spirit animals. They look very similar in appearance from the living animals they resemble and can only be recognized as specters when they phase through an object or activates its anomalous abilities.
When they find a sapient creature, they immediately possesses it and turn the subject's body into the physical form of the spirit animal. For example, if a wolf spirit possesses a human, it will violently turn the human body into a physical wolf body.
Anyone who are able to resist the process will be able to tame the spirit and use it as a pet or a guide in life decisions.
It is found in the east of Yucatan forests and appears only during the middle summer and and the middle of winter.
