Wendigo

The wendigo is a wild creature that stalks the frigid northern tundras, known for its insatiable hunger and its eerie, ghostly appearance. It is said to be a spirit of the winter, taking on the form of a gaunt, emaciated being with long, razor-sharp claws and a hauntingly calming face that is overshadowed by its piercing, glowing eyes. The wendigo is a fearsome predator, able to run faster than the swiftest of prey and possessing the strength to take down even the mightiest of creatures. Its piercing howls can freeze the blood of even the bravest of warriors, and those who hear it are said to be at the mercy of the wendigo's insatiable hunger. There are those who worship the wendigo as a deity of the north, and who believe that it is a symbol of the raw power and beauty of nature in its most brutal form.
