描述
Long haunting the frigid forests of North America in the oral traditions of Algonquian-speaking tribes, the Wendigo was a monstrous embodiment of winter's cruelty and humanity's darkest impulses. Whether described as a gaunt, skeletal creature or a terrifying antlered giant, the Wendigo has been said to be either a malevolent spirit possessing humans or a horrific transformation visited upon those who succumbed to greed or cannibalism during desperate times. This monstrous state was irreversible, fueled by an insatiable hunger for human flesh. The Wendigo served as a chilling cautionary tale, reminding communities of the importance of cooperation and compassion, especially in the face of hardship.
