Title
Wendigo
Description
Wendigo is a mythological creature that originates from the folklore of First Nations based in and around the East Coast forests of Canada, the Great Plains region of the United States, and the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, grouped in modern ethnology as speakers of Algonquian-family languages. In indigenous representations the Wendigo is often times described as a giant humanoid with a heart of ice; a foul stench or sudden, unseasonable chill.
The Wendigo is known to invoke feelings of insatiable greed and/or hunger, the desire to cannibalize humans, as well as the tendency to commit murder.
