How is old higue able to peel off her skin?

Old Higue, a character from Caribbean folklore, is said to peel off her skin by using a magical ability that allows her to shed her outer layer, often to transform into a more sinister form or to fly. This act is typically linked to her need to consume the blood of infants or young children, which she does under the cover of night. The process of peeling off her skin reflects her supernatural nature and serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers that lurk in the shadows.
