If a victim of this hunger is reduced to a Wisdom score of 0, he transforms into a wendigo immediately and races off into the night sky at such speed that his feet burn away into bloody charred stumps. The victim stalks and tries to kill the closest member of its own race if it does so, it feeds on the victim's body and then returns home with no memory of the tragic event. Additionally, each day that a victim takes Wisdom damage from the disease, he must succeed on a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 wendigo's HD + wendigo's Cha modifier) or become overwhelmed with an insatiable hunger for the flesh of its own race. The incubation period is 1d3 days, and the disease deals 1d3 points of Wisdom damage. Special Attacks: A wendigo retains all the special attacks of the base creature and gains the following special attacks.ĭisease (Su): Any creature hit by a wendigo's bite attack must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 wendigo's HD + wendigo's Con modifier) or become infected with the wendigo's hunger. If the base creature does not have a bite attack, the wendigo gains one.ĭamage: A wendigo creature's bite attack deals damage as shown on the table below, or as the base creature, whichever is better It adds 1 1 2 times its Strength bonus to the damage dealt. Wendigos do not travel on land.ĪC: A wendigo gains a deflection bonus to AC equal to its Charisma bonus (minimum of +1)Īttacks: A wendigo's bite is its sole attack.

The wendigo loses all other movement types, including its base land speed. Speed: A wendigo gains a fly speed of 120 feet (perfect), unless its previous fly speed was better, in which case the base creature's fly speed is retained. It otherwise uses all of the base creature's statistics and special abilities except as noted below. A wendigo's type changes to fey, and it gains the cold subtype. "Wendigo" is an acquired template that can be added to any animal, giant, humanoid, magical beast, or monstrous humanoid (referred to hereafter as the base creature), although the vast majority of wendigo were once animals or humanoids.
