Wendigo (Until Dawn)

Summary

The Wendigos are one of the two main antagonists in Until Dawn.

They were humans who have been changed by a Native American spirit into cannibalistic monsters after they ate the flesh of other humans around the mines, due to starvation.

It is unknown how long they have lived in Blackwood, but it is suggested they've been around since 1952, due to the cave in.

Long ago, a Native American tribe known as the Cree, preserved the Blackwoods as well as its wildlife, believing it would anger the mountain and unleash the Wendigo curse, what they call "A creature born from ice."

Powers and Stats

Tier: 9-C, possibly 9-B

Name: Wendigo

Origin: Until Dawn

Gender: Male/Female

Age: Varies, but all the ones that appear are adults who were up to 80 years old

Classification: Human possessed by an evil spirit

Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Enhanced Senses (Thermal vision and hearing), Bodily Weaponry (Sharp claws and teeth, capable of tearing through flesh and clawing through stone and metal), Stealth Mastery, Vocal Mimicry (Can more or less perfectly imitate other human voices), Immortality (Type 6 and possibly 7; The soul of a Wendigo remains attached to a host, when it is freed, it will remain looking until it finds another host. They are considered undead entities by character's like The Stranger.), Longevity (The Makkapitew was known to live for around two generations, hunted by the grandfather of the Stranger who was in his early 50s), Possession (A Wendigo can possess those who are desperate or crave food. The soul of the Wendigo will also possess a human fully when they have resorted to cannibalism in the mountains), Statistics Amplification (They grow stronger when they feed), Pseudo-Surface Scaling, Resistance to Pain and Cold Temperatures, Incorporeality (In spirit form) and Corruption (Can transform cannibals of Blackwood Mountain into Wendigo) for the Wendigo Souls

Attack Potency: Street level, possibly Wall level (Regular Wendigos can easily crush a human skull, damage metal doors, casually break through wood, and can effortlessly overpower Mike)

Speed: Superhuman (One of them can easily outrun a wolf. They can catch and kill elk.)

Lifting Strength: Class 5 (Easily ripped off a human head. Lifted Mike into the air and threw him a large distance with no difficulty)

Striking Strength: Street level, possibly Wall level (Can crush heads with ease, dented a metal door with multiple strikes)

Durability: Street level, possibly Wall level (Can repeatedly tank shotgun fire and survive hits from other Wendigos)

Stamina: Superhuman (They chased the protagonists for nearly an entire night and they didn't show any signs of getting tired)

Range: Extended Melee Range

Standard Equipment: Nothing notable

Intelligence: Animalistic (Wendigos are primarily driven by primal instincts and survival skills. They operate on a level akin to predatory animals, relying on acute senses and physical capability rather than complex cognitive abilities. Their behavior typically revolves around hunting and capturing prey, guided by instincts sharpened through their transformation). Average for Hannah (She retains some semblance of strategic thinking, as evidenced by her ability to mimic voices to lure victims, manipulate objects like phones to deceive prey, and even sabotage infrastructure such as cutting support cables at the radio tower to create advantageous situations for hunting.)

Weaknesses: As their vision is based on changes in movement, they cannot see targets who are completely still, and their armored skin is weak to fire.
