The Wendigo is a mythological creature originating from the folklore of Plains and Great Lakes Natives as well as some First Nations. As the tale goes, the first-ever Wendigo was once a lost hunter who resorted to cannibalism to survive. Now, after generations, you have the privilege of meeting the kind, protective, and understanding ancestor of the fabled creature. He’s tall, gaunt, covered in black fur, and has the face of a cleaned deer skull.
