Description

Got tired of the same old S.A. Alpha. Decided he needed a face lift. A fun little blurb: Wendigoes are the result of cannibalism in the forests of the north. It is a curse that causes the death of the person, and later they return as a huge beast with the desire to consume human flesh. Wendigoes are thin and seven to ten feet tall, their hearts are made of ice and their claws are often described as icicles. The majority are thin and lanky, perhaps a reflection of the hunger they are driven by. They are totally immune to the cold and have complete control over weather. Often they appear in the middle of a snowstorm's core and steal their victim when the weather is at its worse. The Wendigo's hunger does not make its intellect go down at all, far from mindless it is evil and cunning; intelligent as a human with the strength and savagery of a monster. Wendigoes attack travellers, when there are none to be had they will make stocks of human flesh in the trees for the long winter. Some wendigoes are agressive and will attack cabins and campers. One of their favorite games is to scare a victim so bad they will run into the woods blindly, making for an easy kill. Wendigoes know their environment, they know every cave and hill and tree, This makes them excellent trackers who can toy with their victims for hours without being seen. They are called wind walkers because it is as if they walk on the air, excelling at stealth and being very fast. Though a bane to humans, they are closely allied with the animals of the forest. The Wendigo shares its kills with the predators of the forest. As Wendigoes age they grow more powerful. They gain the power to summon darkness, heal wounds instantly, travel great distances in seconds and even summon animals from the forest. One of the dreaded powers the Wendigo has is the fever. This fever causes the victim to have horrible nightmares. They will awaken and go mad and run into the forest never to be seen again.

Nice story and briliant image! I loooove how you furred this troll-like stalker, this makes him more creepy than the original S.A. creature. The poses are hotdamndynamic and lighting is really so freaking icy that it's (well almost giggle) making me breath small clouds. Kids, don'T go to the woods... now we all know why! thumbs up and upper

Wow! a breath-taking image, great composition - truly Boris/Julie quality!!! Loved the summary of Wendigo lore as well. The "travel great distances in seconds" factoid reminds me of the Wendigo poem I learned as a kid, with the couplet: "One night, he's up in Canada / the next, on your veran-a-dah..." (or, words to that effect)!!!
