Talk:The Wendigo/@comment-24206762-20140110111953

Good story, but I'm a little annoyed about the constant depiction of the Wendigo as a deer-creature. In mythology, the Wendigo is meant to look like an emaciated corpse. In my view, the Wendigo is a gigantic ape-like creature, much like Bigfoot, yet larger - about two hundred feet - which is covered with matted, silver-white fur, and has a disgustingly long lolling tongue and glowing red eyes, and isn't born of cannibalism at all but rather is an ancient species which existed in the Ice Age long before humans and only inspires humans to kill each other. It inspires insanity. In my opinion, Wendigos are now extinct... or so we think... and they do not possess humans or anything, they just make them go mad and affect their brains
