Monstrosities: Wendigo
🕑 Added 2021-10-21 18:43:20 +0000 UTCWendigos are creatures of cruelty, madness, hunger, and cannibalism. The wendigo’s origins are a mystery. Some claim that they are the offspring of a beast and a lycanthrope, curse not only with lycanthropy but an insatiable appetite for flesh. Others believe that the first wendigo was once a cannibalistic barbarian that was cursed by the tribe’s shaman, and yet others say that a god of the hunt or lycanthropy created them. Regardless of what the wendigo’s origin is they are found in forests, mountains, and tundra regions where they prey on humanoids. Wendigos stalk their prey, playing with their minds, and devouring them after madness has taken their minds.
A wendigos true form is a large creature with long limbs, claws, some have fur, but almost all have a skeletal canine head and long elk horns. It can also take a humanoid and a direwolf form. When threatened or in combat the wendigo is a savage merciless beast that devours its opponent.
