    As the thought of desire for human flesh possesses a person, their
    heart becomes ice and they turn Wendigo. They forget that people are people and not just animals to be consumed, and they become a danger to all who pass them by.

      Recommended: incineration, explosions, and/or execration.
      Recommended: destroy head first, then burn/explode body.
      Recommended: expel by spiritual means. its a supernatural creature, an advanced shaman could do it.
      Stats: speed-25-30 mph/ incredible strength and agility
      Recommended Power: military force
      if killed by normal means, it's spirit overrides your body and makes you eat a chunk of its flesh. thus it turns you, and its terror lives on. destroying enough of its body means there is not enough to hijack you and make you eat its corpse. Head is control center, like brain, but mutilation (eg., cutting its neck or spine) is ineffective. explosions mean theres not enough to regen. the limb in time/ usually takes a year or so. normal amputation regens in about 2 months.
      just some lore for the people who care!

    Great video! I grew up hearing Wendigo stories in northern Canada and my understanding is that giving into hunger during a famine and practicing canabilism corrupts a person and they can never be free of evil, even when the famine is over; and will continue to become more evil with time.
    If not killed they will get more and more powerful as their hunger grows, while becoming less and less human. We were warned as kids that the most powerful ones were shape shifters and would use tricks to lure or frighten children into running off alone into the forest. They could be recognized by their red eyes in any form apparently.

All they can think of is how hungry they are. The more the pain of starvation grows the easier the idea of eating someone becomes. I’m sure these tales of wendigos came about when others saw these starving people feasting on others, half crazed from being on the brink of death for so long. Absolutely spooky.

    The Wendigo-myth seems a very clever cultural device.
    When killing a human is considered taboo it can be useful for the culture to have killers/cannibals lose their human status somehow by labeling them wendigos instead. This justifies killing them.
    Cannibalism is discouraged heavily through this myth because losing your status as a fellow human cuts the connection with the tribe that one may need to survive and also one is likely to face the vengeance of the tribe, inspired by role models such as Anwe. The very thought of turning into a mindless wendigo could be perceived as some sort of death to begin with, besides the wendigo also feels eternal hunger. This suggestion makes resorting to cannibalism a very unattractive thing to do.
    I think the wendigo-myth helps to protect the culture. It seem to prevent it from descending into cannibalistic savagery, provides a selfless hero to inspire, and provides a nice story to pass on by the campfire for generations to come.

    • @drivemecloser
      @drivemecloser 5 років тому +14

      It isn't just a matter of reinforcing the taboo. There are numerous accounts regarding people put into positions where they were forced to resort to cannibalism. You frequently have it where the experience breaks them. People developing a taste and justifying murder to sate an insatiable appetite. Drawing lines to make outsiders of some, simply because the outsider is more easily dispatched and consumed. People being rescued at sea only to ferociously guard the bone pile of those they've cannibalized, frantically sucking at or stashing the bones for the fear of the last bits of marrow being stolen from them. The psychological angle of the wendigo myth is very real.

    • @LordGatar

      Ya Boi Shirt Gonna have to disagree man. The prologue was fucking awesome playing as Haytham. Then comes Connor. Boring as fuck, uninteresting, vanilla milkshake Connor. They could have built an entire game around Haytham Kenway and then pulled the swerve at the end. I felt like I was only playing AC 3 so I wouldn’t have wasted money on it. It was a chore. Then ACBF came along and redeemed the franchise.
