Right? The ONLY thing it needs is a better soundtrack. Darker. More foreboding.
>>19376544
YOU MEAN LIKE THIS!?!
>>19377409
Yessssssss.
>>19376547
Shit, I mean wankers, WANKERS
They are strong.
I've been doing some conspiring on this, and i dont think it would be too far of a stretch to believe that skinwalkers and wendigo are part of the same sub species, if not the same thing really. Forget the "lore" for a sec and consider that both represent something at bare minimum humanoid (enough so that natives would recognize it as one of their own, and assume it was a person that committed a terrible sin) that preys on humans. It would have some way of disguising itself(skinwalker), as well as being incredibly strong(wendigo).

I have been digging high and low for some species that would fit this description, but the most I can come up with is maybe some kind of "mammal-like reptile"synapsid that closely resembles humans structurally and is able to change its pigment to resemble different people. The only reason I say synapsid instead of just some reptile species is that its extremely rare for any /known/ modern reptiles to make vocalizations.

I know a lot about Wendigos so ask away.

What's the difference between a skinwalker and a wendigo? I've heard that wendigos started as cannibals and then became corrupted.

I wouldn't worry about it.
>>19376544
ski walkers. They're always mid 40s and bother the fuck out of you at the bar.

Wendigos are people who ate human flesh on cursed land. Skinwalkers are shapeshifters kind of like like werewolves but Native American in origin
>>19381685
Wendigo are Native tribe members who supposedly ate the flesh of their kin (that being any member of the tribe) during periods of famine, though more specifically during the winter months. This would curse them with unending hunger and warp their physical forms, apparently.
Skinwalkers were shaman or medicine men or practitioners of whatever belief a tribe held that had given themselves entirely to the wild, so much so that they were more spirit than man. This allowed them to change their shape.
