Silly Phil! It’s a monster! It tried to eat you! Even if it were human, who is to say its not the version that becomes a wendigo because it ate 100 humans?!
Yep, that was another wendigo legend thing… I’m surprised how much different and crossing lore there is on these things
Nom nom nom.
Be nice to wendigo, and he will eat out of your hand.
Or just eat your hand.
