Wendigo are sourced back to Algoniquin folklore and are believed to be created by a human committing cannibalism. It causes them to become insatiably hungry for human flesh, as well as becoming horribly emaciated, tall and lanky, and growing fangs and antlers as well. This piece is my take on them based off the folklore I’ve read.

Hey all! Got a couple of creepy class options for you, and just in time for Halloween! So, loxodon in the room, this isn’t the thing I was teasing in my last blog post. That monstrosity of a project still needs a TON more work before its ready, and I’ve had these two subclass ideas kicking around in the ol’ brain cage for a while so I thought I’d throw them together. Plus they’re more spooky season appropriate in my opinion.
Anyway, what are these things? Well, it’s a couple of warlock patrons based on some creepy cryptids that I love, one modern, the other less so. The first is Long Horse, a creation of Trevor Henderson, the dude who made Siren Head, Cartoon Cat, and a whole bunch of other great creatures. Long Horse is a harbinger of disaster, sort of like Mothman, but it dedicates itself to warning humanity to keep us safe. It’s curious, friendly, smells of cinnamon, and I love it.
The second is a little more recognizable, the Wendigo. Classic creature from Algonquin (I believe) mythology who has an unending hunger for flesh and a heart of ice. In general it’s meant to be a warning against selfishness and breaking social taboos like murder and cannibalism (a gross oversimplification I realize) so I took that concept and sort of ran with it. Not sure I’m completely happy with it but we’ll see how it shakes out. I’m already thinking about a character for each so hopefully playtesting will be sooner rather than later.
Anyway, despite not being my usual huge special spooky project, I still hope y'all like what I put together. Stay safe out there and don’t forget to love each other.
