Description
It is said in the legends of the far north, far beyond the last town or the last civilized village, far beyond the last borders of the last kingdom, that when the snow fall for months and life begin to slowly fade, when food stocks starts to dwindle and diseases starts to spread, something come with it.
Deep in the woods it lurk. An embodiment of everything we fear about winter. Cold, decay, famine... and madness. A tall creature, half man and half beast, a bare human skull with dagger like fangs as a head with a pair of large antlers on top of it, a starving body with nothing more than flesh and bones, claw as long as swords and deer-like powerful legs.
The mere presence of this creature make the wind stronger, the temperature drop and wildlife flee, for every living being knows that when his gaze is upon you, nothing more than death and madness awaits you.
Born of Greed and Starvation. The wendigo’s origins are mysterious. Some claim they are beings summoned forth from the corpses of humans who have died of starvation. Others say they come from those who have died because of cannibalism or their own greed.
An Insatiable Appetite. Wendigos are found in harsh climates, preying on the weak and hungry. Legends speak of entire settlements devoured by a single wendigo. All that remains of these settlements are eerily silent buildings and a few scattered bones, all material wealth untouched.
An Emaciated Horror. Wendigos have an emaciated humanoid shape with some disturbing lupine features, described by one scholar as a “hairless zombie werewolf.”
Punisher of Vices. Wendigos also have a special role in the punishment for cannibalism and greed. Greedy or cannibalistic individuals whose vices have caused the deaths of others, directly or indirectly, might be cursed by those victims as the victims die. This curse manifests as a wendigo being unleashed into the world.
