Cryptids Club Case file #95 Wendigo Threa level 3 Cannibal Spirit Northern Forests of the United States and Canada

In Algonquian folklore, the wendigo or windigo is a mythical cannibal monster or evil spirit native to the northern forests of the Atlantic Coast and Great Lakes Region of both the United States and Canada. The wendigo may appear as a monster with some characteristics of a human, or as a spirit who has possessed a human being and made them become monstrous. It is historically associated with cannibalism, murder, insatiable greed, and the cultural taboos against such behaviours. --From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shape shifting people eater, the Wendigo is a pretty powerful and potentially dangerous symbol to have around..

In this Weird West scene, you find yourself face to face with a terrifying figure on a cold overcast winter day. Dressed in tattered black robes and masked in the skull of a deer, this nightmare shaman stares at you from atop a pile of snow covered boulders. He carries a curved staff from which hangs a human skull. It's then that you notice his clawed hands and greenish skin. Is this a man or a monster. Meet the Wendigo. I've created a few scenes featuring the Wendigo. Usually, they are more obviously a creature. For this one though I wanted to make it seem possible that the Wendigo was a human as the legends sometime consider the Wendigo a monster and at other times a possessed human. I originally crafted this particula...
