Wendigo: Difference between revisions

** There's also a variant wendigo that is created not by cannibalism, but by food hoarding. If a hoarder causes others to starve to death because of his greed and selfishness, he runs the risk of being wendigofied.

* The tamanous in ''[[Chill]]'' was a similar cannibalism-promoting Native American monster, which resembled a warrior's corpse partially covered in tar.

* ''[[Pathfinder]]'' wendigos are directly inspired by the Algernon Blackwood version. [[Humanoid Abomination|They're as powerful as they're hideous]].

* In keeping with its [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]] (and sci-fi kitchen sink, and horror kitchen sink...) ''[[Rifts]]'' has two types of wendigo: the "spirit" wendigo, wise supernatural hairy hominids friendly to the local [[Magical Native American]] tribes, and the wendigo demons who are truer to the original myths, if slightly underwhelming (it's a good thing they travel in packs, because a lone one wouldn't be much trouble for the average ''Rifts'' low-level PC group).
