Good work. I've never heard of this legend before.
Thats what I am a bit afraid of....it being a less well known creature.....Very North American.
"A windigo (or wendigo) is a supernatural being belonging to the spiritual traditions of Algonquian-speaking First Nations in North America. Windigos are described as powerful monsters that have a desire to kill and eat their victims. In most legends, humans transform into windigos because of their greed or weakness. Various Indigenous traditions consider windigos dangerous because of their thirst for blood and their ability to infect otherwise healthy people or communities with evil. Windigo legends are essentially cautionary tales about isolation and selfishness, and the importance of community."

I'd have thought wendigo has come up in a fair scattering of fantasy (especially urban fantasy) and horror stories.
A while back one of my online acquaintances mentioned a wendigo.. replying to a post about cryptozoology where the wendigo was mentioned..
"Ahhh that's odd you say that ... I have ... not kidding at all ... north of Graham ON about 20 years ago ... there are areas of Northwestern Ontario the Native American people avoid ... this is one of them ... I haven't been back there since.....my hunting partner and I heard it for an hour in the early evening ... it was warning us away and we didn't need more encouragement than that ... I was moose hunting at the time on recently harvested timber blocks....I don't expect anyone to believe me except Bruce my hunting partner ... we were followed - or stalked while we were hunting that week and there weren't other humans around for 50 miles - rifles stayed in the tent overnight ... we didn't turn tail and run but knew we were not alone ... windigo smell awful you will never forget it"
One of the better-known treatments of the wendigo in fiction is the novella "The Wendigo" by horror writer Algernon Blackwood. There are moments of unintentional comedy, but overall it's a pretty creepy read.
I've always found wendigo scary as hell.
Needless to say, this one jumped straight into my cart and will soon be terrorizing the rest of my runtime. Poor Michael and Vicky.
I love him!
Reminds me a bit of the Mari Lwyd. There are a few Celtic creatures with the skulls of horses as their heads. They are of pre-Christian origins of some sort. The wendigo reminds me of that.
Sounds a bit like the Wendigo and the legend of Bigfoot overlap maybe. They say Bigfoot makes a horrible howl and smells like garbage. Interesting ;)
I have started seeing Wendigo in more horror/fantasy the last few years.....But I am an Ontario boy myself, so have heard the legends since I was young.
Not a fellah I would wanna run into
You haven't watched Supernatural?
OK, thanks, now that you explained it I had heard of it once before, but not since I was a teenager. I need to find that book so I can read it again if you are going to make such creatures.
When a human goes cannibalism to survive the brutal winters of the north woods, that person is cursed to become a Wendigo, which comes in two forms, one corporeal and the other spirit. The spirit of a Wendigo could, thru the act of cannibalism, possess a human
I have heard of them but also a lot of wokeness from people (usually not North American let alone First Nations) saying we are not allowed to depict them
someone got utterly blasted in an art competition for doing so
"Wendigo"
"Supernatural" Wendigo (TV Episode 2005) - IMDb
As I've already said on Facebook, it looks fantastic!
Looking forward to seeing it used in halloween renders next month...
The 2021 horror film Antlers deals with the wendigo legend.
Also Stephen King's "Pet Sematary" novel relies on this legend.
I always thought Wendigo were as well known as chupacabras... well, not that I know many chupacabras (though there was a nice chupacabra couple that lived down the block, but they moved to Florida a bit before Covid struck, when Charlie's company relocated)... I tend to think of Wendigos as being a 70s monster, like strutting Bigfoot... before he was all fancy and calling himself Sasquatch...
I first heard about them as a kid at summer camp in the mid 70s... I've always assumed it was a pacific northwest legend.
You had reptile-like creatures with leathery or scaly greenish-gray skin and sharp spines or quills running down their back and living down the street from you. Weren't you scared?
