Description

The Wendigo is a creature told of in stories used to scare people out of entering the forest alone. This Wendigo is a very real incarnation of such a creature,  a monstrous reimagining of a zombie, an incredibly fast hungering corpse.

Wendigos are created by ritual a ritual involving a corpse, stone altar, potent poison and deer skull. They will not attack their summoner and can follow a very basic instruction on who to attack and who not to. This does not mean it will hold to that instruction if it feels threatened or has not been fed for too long.

This is the regular version of the Wendigo, for the boss version, see the greater Wendigo page.
