A wendigo is a dreadful fey spirit that haunts cold temperate
forests and desolate tundras. It is often mistaken for an undead
or lycanthrope due to its appearance and its insatiable craving for
humanoid flesh.
The wendigo appears as a gaunt horrid-looking
9-foot tall humanoid with an emaciated elk's head with antlers.
Its foul body is covered with dark matted hair that is stained
with blood. Its unnaturally long arms end in vicious claws and its
mouth is ridged with sharp teeth.
The wendigo was once an evil humanoid
that hunted and preyed on its own kind, surviving as a cannibal
for most of its life while living alone in the wilderness. Such
a creature will attract the attention of the Queen of Air and
Darkness or Malar the Beastlord. Before the creature's death, the
deity it gained favor from bestows upon it a gift, or rather a curse,
which transforms the creature into the ravenous wendigo. This
allows the creature to continue what it did in its previous life, for
eternity
