olennatyrells: Myths & Legends: Wendigo The Algonquian people have long feared a mythical creature named the Wendigo. Though there are various descriptions of the terrifying beast, all say that they are cannibalistic, malevolent, supernatural beings with great spiritual power. They are commonly associated with winter and cold because of the similar association with starvation and famine. According to legend, one can become a Wendigo by eating the flesh of another human. Thus, cannibalism became a taboo for the Algonquians. The Wendigo symbolized greed, gluttony and excess. It is said that the Wendigos are never satisfied after a meal and are constantly searching for new victims. Some myths described the Wendigo as a massive creature smelling of decomposition, death and corruption. The Wendigo grows in size with every victim which is why they are believed to be much bigger in size than humans.
