Description
A being of pure nightmares. The Wendigo is a large bipedal being with cloven hooves and hands with elongated fingers tipped with talons perfect for tearing flesh and bone alike. It's body is coved with little fur, with only a mane which stretches halfway down its back. A long featureless tail sprouts from its lower back and is tipped with a tuft of fur. Spines start from the base of its neck and travel down its spine. Its most striking feature however is its head, which appears as a skinned Wolf skull still partially covered in sinew and large Antlers sprouting from the top of its skull. Most Wendigos' can be heard long before they can be seen. However, once you stop hearing a Wendigos screams, be afraid. It does not mean you have left its territory, it means it has caught your sent and it will make itself known very soon. And remember, if you can hear a friend or a loved one somewhere in the trees, no matter how much they beg, how much they cry, do not follow those voices, it is not who you think it is.
Lair and Lair Actions
A Wendigo lair is often that of an icy cave littered with the discarded remains of its victims. Many creatures will also inhabit these caves as the Wendigo has no interest in harming non-humanoids unless provoked and no wild animal is stupid enough to provoke a Wendigo. However, the presence of the Wendigo has filled these walls with a vile and primal magic, making these caves unbearably cold to the extent deadly temperatures.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Wendigo takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Wendigo can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- The unbearable cold of these caves sets in. All creatures chosen by the Wendigo must succeed a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or suffer a level of exhaustion. Creatures with resistance to cold have advantage while creatures who are immune to cold are immune to this affect as well.
- The vile magics put here by the Wendigo's presence surge towards its creator granting one of two effects. The Wendigo regains 2d10 hit points or each of its attacks gains an additional weapon damage die until the start of its turn.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary Wendigo’s lair is cursed, which creates the following effects:
- Predatory creatures and large herbivore creatures alike become gaunt as if they haven't eaten in weeks and turn savage, attempting to attack and consume humanoid creatures on site. They cannot be reasoned with and if a creature attempts to communicate with them, they only respond with expressions of how unbelievably hungry they are.
- Meat, berries and crops begin to rapidly wither apon being harvested and will last little more than a day unless magically preserved.
If the Wendigo dies, these effects fade over the course of 2d4 days.
