Historical Background
In the mythology of the Algonquian-speaking Native American tribes, the Wendigo is a malevolent supernatural creature, usually described as a giant with a heart of ice; sometimes it is said to be entirely made of ice. Its body is skeletal and deformed, with missing lips and toes.
In some stories a Wendigo follows a lone wanderer for a long time. When the prey becomes suspicious and turns around the Wendigo always manages to hide behind a tree. After a while the followed person starts to become hysterical and runs until he makes an error. The Wendigo then strikes. If someone survives a Wendigo attack they get the Wendigo-fever: after a night of nightmares and pain in their legs--the Wendigo often has no feet--Wendigo-fevered people strip themselves naked and run into the forest screaming.
