Wendigos devour complete
any flesh at hand;
consuming voraciously,
the human in demand.

Author Notes
Picture borrowed from allthatsinteresting.com

WENDIGOS were said to be man-eating monsters that roamed the land near the Great Lakes. Their bodies were emaciated, their ribs stuck out through their thin, pale skin, and their eyes were sunk deep down into their sockets. They looked like men who had died of starvation, walking through the world after a week of decomposing in the grave. A Wendigo's appetite could never be filled. It would attack other men and eat their flesh, but every bite would just make them larger and hungrier, until they were massive, flesh-starved giants towering over the trees. For being an insatiable predator, the wendigo is definitely not the largest or most muscular beast out there, though he is said to be almost 15 feet tall. Obsessed with hunting for new victims, he is forever hungry until he's eating another person.
