	The '''Wendigo''' is a supernatural spirit from Midwestern Native Amercian mythology that possesses those who engage in cannibalism. Descriptions of what it looks like and what its capable of vary wildly. Some say that the possessed person grows bigger and bigger every time they eat someone, til they eventually get to be kaiju size, others say that the wendigo runs so fast that its feet burn away from the friction and its legs end in ashy stumps. Lots of modern art depicts it as a sort of were-deer [[beastman]] (because when people think Canada, they think caribou), but the original legends had no association with deer.

	Folklore often serves to enforce a practical lesson, and with the Wendigo, that's obvious: don't eat other people! Besides that being incredibly antisocial, there's also legitimate health reasons to do so, as at least one kind of prion disease, Kuru, is transmitted through this kind of act -- basically, if you eat an infectee's brain, your own brain may begin rotting as infectious prions convert your neural tissue into yet more infectious prions. Granted this prion is only found in Pap New Guinea, but still.		Folklore often serves to enforce a practical lesson, and with the Wendigo, that's obvious: don't eat other people!
