Description
A shrieking cry splits the air, and a chill wind blows through the trees. The forest grows silent before you hear it... the snapping of bones.
Towering over 15 ft tall with lots of sharp teeth and staring lidless eyes, the wendigo is a sight to cause terror in even the heartiest of souls. The thin frame is deceptive, as these creatures are known to be able to hurl an adventurer across the forest clearing at a moment's notice.
No one knows where this monstrosity comes from or why it feasts on the living as it does.
Lair and Lair Actions
The lair of the Wendigo is often surrounded by dead plants and littered with the bones of their prey.
Within 500 ft of the Wendigo's lair, a sudden drop in temperature can be felt.
Within 100 ft of the Wendigo's lair, all creatures must succeed on a DC15 Wisdom save or become frightened. Save is to be repeated every turn if in combat in the lair.
Any living plant creature within 50 ft of the lair will gradually loose health over the course of several days, leading to the lair being surrounded by dead plants.
