Wendigo

Wendigos are creatures found in Appalachia in 2102.

Biology
The wendigo resembles a gaunt, emaciated humanoid with ashy gray skin, long bony arms, a pot belly and a skull-like face topped with scant strands of long, stringy hair. They have large claws on the tips of each finger.

They exhibit similar characteristics to ghouls, like radiation resistance for example. They do not engage in combat with ghouls when they're near.

Gameplay attributes
Wendigos are fast and can deal a large amount of damage in a very short amount of time. They get close and can be hard to hit without V.A.T.S. if using a firearm. Wendigos will not run away if player climbs onto a objects or furniture, but will continue to screech.

Appearances
Wendigos appear only in Fallout 76.

Behind the scenes
In Algonquin folklore, a wendigo is a malevolent spirit that possesses and transforms human beings who have committed sins such as cannibalism, murder or if they are extremely greedy. The spirit forces them to consume human flesh if they had not already, turning them into a monster with an insatiable hunger for human flesh.
