Naming NotesWendigo is the name of a half-beast creature appearing in the legends of the Algonquian peoples. According to legend, Wendigo will possess any human that are cannibalistic. The reason I picked Wendigo is because I have always been fascinated by Native American mythology and Wendigo stood out to me.
