Savage fork-tongued wendigo
The wendigo looks to have once been humanoid. Magics have contorted and stretched its form into an atrocity of exposed bone and raw tissues that stands several heads taller than a giantman. Sprouting antlers of bloodstained bone breach up from the sparse flesh of the wendigo's skull. Its eyes are misty pools of light that cast the rest of the wendigo's face in haunted shadow. The abomination's maw is forced open by multifarious rows of shark-like teeth, but its tongue is forked like that of a snake.
Hunting Strategies
Wendigos are one of the most dangerous creatures in the Boreal Forest sections of the Hinterwilds, with a plethora of dangerous characteristics like quick attacks, focused mstrikes, and a Sympathy (1120) (or at very least Sympathy-like) spell. Normally this would mean keeping them busy with stuns, but they're also unstunnable, so instead keep them busy with Staggered (they are NOT susceptible to Carn's Cry), knocking them prone, and other disablers while poking in damage where possible. In general, being able to disrupt whichever of wendigos' attacks are most dangerous to a player's build makes disablers strong options rather than trying to brute force through them. When they MSTRIKE, they will have an extended RT compared to other attacks, providing some opportunity.
