Wenido
Wendigos appear at the begining of a famine and are considered a powerful omen. These creatures are humanoids who have been corrupt by eating humanoid flesh to stave of starvation. These now half-human individuals are corrupted and always hungry.
Most stories claim that as Wendigos feast they grow proportional to what they eat. This means they can never be full and are in a state of constant, unquenchable hunger. Their taut flesh is pulled across their bones, and holes exist where the stomach should be.
Cultures in cold regions of the fey wild have hunters that track down anyone who have come down with the "Wendigo Psycosis", a mindset that causes an intense craving of the flesh of humanoids. Those who cannot be healed are executed.
The presence of a Wendigo is noted by adnormally colder weather, destruction of the natural environment and the stench of death and decay. Due to them floating above ground, they are very difficult to track, most hunters go by smell and temperature.
Wendigo often lie in wait on the well traveled roads and attempt to abush traders. They will not wait forever, as their insatiable hunger will eventual goad them to attack anything.
