Description
Wendigo are mysterious and nasty creatures in that they are created by their own greed and the heinous act of cannibalism when they were human. Any humanoid can become a wendigo either from eating humanoid flesh or from being cursed by their victims in life. 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.
Wendigo look like long emancipated werewolves with horns on their heads. If a prospective victim is lucky to live than they say that the Wendigo ribs could be seen no matter how much they ate.
Lair and Lair Actions
Wendigo's like to have cold cave like areas for their lair as it helps keep the bodies good for later and slows their victims down. These caves can be built anywhere but are mostly in snowy mountains or deep underground. If the Wendigo is playing human they might have their lair in their homes basement and make it like a ice cave.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 10 (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:
- An icy wind sweeps across the cavern freezing everything but the Wendigo in its path. Creatures in the space need to make a DC 10 CON save for half damage if they fail take the full 32 (4D8) cold damage. Creatures also must make a STR DC 10 saving throw or have their speed reduced to 0 until their next turn. After the use of this lair action the floor is considered difficult terrain until a fire spell is used to melt the ice on the floor.
- If a hostile creature is 5ft from the walls of the lair they need to make a DC 15 DEX save or take 6 (2D6) piercing damaged from spikes that jut out of the wall . If they are hit with the spike they must also make a 10 CON save or take 24 (4D6) poison dmg on a fail and half as much on a save.
If the Wendigo dies, these effects fade over the course of 1 day.
