They've been described as witch-like creatures, not fully human or owl when fully transformed.

Similar to vampire lore.

To change from human to Stikini they must vomit up and remove their internal organs and hide them somewhere in the woods, usually on or near a tree. After they feed they have to return to the woods, retrieve their organs, and reinsert them in order to transform back into human form. It's disturbing and disgusting.
