Wasteland Animal Encyclopedia: Wendigo

As seen in Mutant Zoo: Life Finds a Way

"A creature of mysterious origin, the Wendigo is proven to have mutated from humans. No one knows exactly what causes an ordinary person to become one of these heinous deformities, but it has been proven that cannibalism plays a crucial role in the transformation to some extent. Wendigos have been known to occasionally live among feral ghouls, Possibly even commanding a horde of feral ghouls. This has led some to speculate that the Wendigo mutation may actually be a rare form of ghoulishness. Wendigos are found across much of the continental United States, and possibly beyond, but to be clear, their exact ecology is ultimately unknown due to the rarity and cryptic nature of the species.

The Wendigo is quite possibly the most terrifying mutant wandering the ruins of post-war America. They are tall, pale humanoids with sunken eyes and long, sharp claws. They have elongated limbs, protruding and sharp teeth, and enlarged skulls. They can run on two legs and glide very efficiently on all fours. Although they are completely feral, some Wendigos may adorn themselves with strange accessories. Examples of this include mutant or animal skulls, simple necklaces or jewelry, or old clothing. It's unclear why some Wendigos behave this way, but some hypothesize that their confused minds may be trying to express some dormant fragment of their humanity. As always, take such assumptions with a grain of salt.

Wendigos are a devastating force on the post-apocalyptic battlefield. Their earth-shattering screams can instantly knock out a full-grown human, while a single blow from their clawed, misshapen hands can have similarly violent results on the largest mutants. They are also very dexterous, able to briefly hide themselves in times of distress, and possess a powerful poison. Many also tend to be highly radioactive, meaning just being around living things is a safety hazard. Wendigos also regenerate from radiation exposure, similar to ghouls and the mythical wanamingo. All in all, Wendigos are a top contender for the title of most dangerous creature in the wasteland. Even if it doesn't win a fight, it can cause absolute hell when it swings.
