An unusual creature from Yukon myths, half phantom, half beast, embodying the dangers of Winter in the flesh. An elemental spirit of the wind and cold, it moves through the woods with preternatural stealth and speed, leaving hauntingly scorched trails of distantly spaced footprints in the snow.
It's attributed various powers, including flight, invisibility, the projection of illusions, and a keen tracking sense for its prey - typically unwary travellers, especially young and foolhardy ones.
The most common origin for a Wendigo is the consumption of human flesh during a harsh winter; this awakens a feral hunger that gradually transforms one into the monster. Intentional association with fell powers ('bad medicine') can also achieve the same result.
The Wendigo has been made most famous by its use by Algernon Blackwood in his short story The Wendigo. It's since inspired a Marvel comics character by the same name and various movies and television shows.
Also a well-known knave from Gaia Online.

"Jack Fiddler was one of the greatest Wendigo hunters who ever lived. Against all odds he killed some 14 of the beasts, but his accomplishments were ignored as boasting or lunacy."
"A Wendigo? What do you mean?"
"Pray you never find out, son."

Get the Wendi mug.The oldest middle school in West Palm Beach, Florida. The school is a grade A, and get's some of the highest FCAT scores in the state, yet still can't seem to manage to get the bathrooms clean. The students are all "multicultriual" which is a fancy way of saying there are plenty of different ethnicities and whatnot. Most of the students of the female variety think Abercrombie & Fitch equals high fashion, and they also enjoy having competitions to see who can get away with the most revealing clothing without getting a detention. The boys like to think they are all "gangstas" even though most of them live in suburban areas that most definitely don't resemble "the hood". The school likes to see how many students it can cram into the cafeteria at one time, on account of the schools is far past overpopulated. The class sizes range from 23-33 students, and the teachers ages range from 27-78.
Wellington Landings Middle School Student: Hey, man, there was a fight in the cafe today. It was pimpin, dude.
Non-Wellington Landings Student: That wasn't a fight, man. That was just two girls arguing about which one of them had more scarves from Abercrombie.
