Wendigo

File:Placeholder

A Wendigo is featured in The Monster Attacks 2. In Native American mythology, it's a spirit that possesses humans and turns them into cannibals. In the novel, the Wendigo is a result of college student Petra Williams being bitten by a dog infected with the Rage Virus. The Wendigo is said by some to be the scariest animal in the series.

Biography

The Wendigo is at first an unknown girl that has been possessed by the Wendigo. However, Nathan Lynn discovers the creature used to be a college student named Petra Williams from Charleston, West Virginia. To his horror, Nathan finds diary entries from April 1, 2012 containing extremely graphic events pertaining to how she became a Wendigo, ranging from eating dead people from previous animal attacks, discussing ways to kill and eat her fellow campers and finally obtaining an elk skull, complete with antlers (the real human face was hidden behind the makeshift "battle helmet"). Petra, now a Wendigo, starts chasing her friends through the woods and pursues Abby Burr's sister Cassie into a cave.

From there, it kills random people in its thirst for flesh before officially disappearing, its hunger satisfied. Notable deaths include almost all the SWAT officers and several of the missing hikers.

Trivia

• Originally, the Wendigo was supposed to be a guy.
• Cassie was also supposed to die, but this was changed.
• Cassie is the soul survivor of the whole incident, other than Jared.
• The Wendigo was orginially going to be just a crazed human instead of a creature with a deer skull for a head.
