Wendigo

Wendigo: are humans that appear disfigured, either taller or paler with longer limbs they typically take on the form of half human half animal hybrids. So far, Wendigo's seem to stay near the north Atlantic coast of Canada and North America. It is theorized that Wendigos are created when a spirit is present as someone is committing a taboo, most commonly cannibalism. The easiest way to kill a wendigo is to burn it.
