We all like long walks in the woods right? Well maybe you might like differently if you knew there was cannibalistic monster walking around stalking you. Now you may be asking yourself what I am talking about. I'm talking about a Wendigo of course. Now you may be asking yourself what is a Wedigo? Well a Wendigo is monster of incredible speed and hunger. The Wendigo is best described by the Indian legend, the legend says that a Wendigo is someone that had to result in cannibalism to survive. After the consumption of flesh the person will undergo a transformation into a beast. After the transformation is complete the best will always be in constant hunger for human flesh. The hunger can never be stopped and the monster will always feel the need to eat. The Wendigo has had many descriptions on looks but some things stay the same, he is always very tall to the point where it doesn't seem possible. He has long finger and glowing eyes, typically has sunken skin where it shows most of his bones. Now while the act of actually coming to eating another person to survive is very rare in today's world it happened a lot more in early times in the United States with settlers traveling and getting caught in mountains and being cut off by a snow storm.
The legend has been passed down and described by different Indian tribes. Each of the tribes describe them a little different and may have different names. Each of the names alwasy translates to the "evil spirit that devours mankind".
