FOLKLORE CREATURE HIGHLIGHT

THE WENDIGO (this is my first time posting so sorry if it is bad and please let me know about any inaccuracies, also if you want me to go into more or less detail in the future just let me know)

The wendigo is a spirit from native American mythology, here's some info about it.

The creature is found in the north of the USA and Canada. A wendigo used to be a person until they committed canabalism or were overcome by greed. They can possess people and just a touch can drive someone insane.

They are mainly depicted as tall and skinny with bones poking through the skin. Other times they are hairy but often are shown without fur. One interpretation of a wendigo can be seen in my profile picture.

They have many powers including extreme regeneration and controlling the weather. Wendigo enjoy playing with their food and will hunt and stalk them for days, the only way to keep them at bay is a fire. The only way to kill them is to destroy their icy heart. So next time you go camping keep your eyes peeled for the canabal spirit of the woods.
