This is my interpretation of the Wendigo, a creature of Native American myth, and one of the most popular cryptids out there. The Wendigo is described as "malevolent spirit, sometimes depicted as a creature with human-like characteristics, who may possess human beings. It is said to cause its victims a feeling of insatiable hunger, the desire to eat other humans, and the propensity to commit murder." (Wikipedia) So basically, tall scary thing that eats people. I actually personally believe that the Wendigo, or something similar, does or used to exist.
And of course, true to form, I gave it magical powers. Classy. hehehehehheehehehehe I eat kids
