Other Abilities / Powers / Notes:

  1. Wendigos are Undead Monsters created by SOROK and His Servants from parts of dead Monsters, typically Ogres or Ogre Magi, with some parts from Animals. typically Deer.  They do not count as the types of Animals whose parts they include for the purposes of Spells and Effects that target those Animals.
  2. They are denizens of the Dark Forest, but some have escaped into the Real World during incursions of the Dark Forest.
  3. They have an insatiable desire to eat the flesh of People, Ogres or Wendigos, but being Undead gain no nutrition from doing so.
  4. If they inflict DAM > 0 on a Target, they enter a Willpower Battle with the Target.  Once a Wendigo has Dominated a Target, the Target becomes Possessed by the cannabalistic hunger of the Wendigo to kill and eat their own Species.  The Wendigo no longer needs to maintain a Charm Link or concentrate for the Target to be Possessed.  The Target can be cured of the Possession by Exorcising them, if they are not slain by their outraged fellows.
  5. A Being killed by a Wendigo or Possessed Being does not become Undead, and will be eaten by the Wendigo or Possessed Being or dragged off by them to eat if they can.
