Wendigos

A Wendigo is a spirit of Hunger, Starvation and cannibalism. They are dangerous predators of humans that need to be dealt with whenever they appear.

Description

Wendigos are spirits of starvation and cannibalism, hungry for the flesh of the living, animals and people both. They hunt, devour the carcass and then leave to return the next night. They cannot actually digest them however so they just excrete piles of gore.
Still, this does not deter them, they attack with unrelenting aggression, an animal cunning and a disregard for their own safety.

Interesting or Important trait

Wendigos only appear in places and times where people either starved to death or where people are partaking in cannibalism. If a peaceful village is under nightly assault from a wendigo, its probably not that peaceful.

Hunting strategy

Wendigos are superhumanly strong, as well as being very big and faster than you'd think from their size and from how emaciated they look.
Besides that they not particularly difficult to deal with, for while they have no real weaknesses they also have little regard for their own safety and never retreat and are thus easy to dispatch by luring them into ambushes.

Appearance

Wendigos look like monstrously oversized emaciated humans, usually with nonhuman heads. They also usually have horns and are adorned in bones and rags. Details such as claws, legs, fur and the like can vary greatly, as Wendigos are spirits and have no set form.
