Keen Smell. The wendigo has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.
Crimson Mark. If the wendigo hits a creature that has blood with a bite attack, that creature must succeed on a DC 15 Charisma saving throw. On a failure, the wendigo marks the creature for 1d8-1 (minimum of 1) days. While marked, the wendigo knows the precise distance and direction the creature is from it as long as the creature is within 10 miles of it. On a success, the creature is immune to the wendigo's Crimson Mark for 24 hours.
If the wendigo dies and a marked creature is within 30 feet of it, its soul becomes bound to that creature for as long as the mark lasts. If the creature sleeps outside while it has the mark, the wendigo will reform in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the marked creature.
A marked creature can free itself from the mark early by going without food, water or sleep from one sunrise to the following sunrise. The creature takes an additional level of exhaustion to any level of exhaustion that they would take normally from this proses.
Feast. If the wendigo reduces a creature that has blood to 0 hit points with its bite attack, it regains hit points equal to the creature's Constitution score.
Multiattack. The wendigo makes one bite and one claw attack.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 15 (3d6 + 4) piercing damage.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 21 (3d10 + 4) slashing damage.
Description
Generally know as a fairly peaceful people, the druids revere nature above all and usually tolerate the rest of the world at large. But his was not always so. In the distant past, when the druids still practiced the Old Ways with fervour and zeal, they did not look so kindly on the civilized world. The destruction and perversion of the natural world they so loved, lit a flame of rage and hatred in them that burned so bright that it drove them to the darkest of druidic magics. The wendigo was one of the creations that stemmed from this decent down these sinister paths.
Bathing the skull of a giant elk in the blood of humanoids for a week, then building for it a body from the bones of man and beast alike and finally instilling it with the magics of the Old Ways gave the wendigo some perverse form of life. Imbued with the strength, speed and cunning of the wilds, the wendigo's lust for blood and flesh is insatiable. It answered only to those that gave it life and shared their hatred of anything related to civilization, distilled to that of what some would call a fine art while others would refer to it as pure, brutal and sadistic violence.
