Wendigo The wendigo is a daemon who can possess those who willingly eat the flesh of another sentient creature. The persons fingernails elongate into claws and teeth into fangs. They are consumed with a hunger for the flesh of the still living and can only be killed with fire. Wounds caused by the wendigo’s claws do not heal through natural means, and if a creature is wounded by a wendigo and subsequently dies, they have a chance to return to life as a wendigo. Over time, a wendigo's form will shift even further, eventually loosing all signs of humanity and becoming a gaunt, primal being of hunger. Wendigo Blood Tattoo You can eat sentient flesh to heal 2d6 hit points and gain an additional 1d6 temporary hit points. You can do this a number of times per long rest equal to your constitution modifier. You do not invite the wendigo curse when doing this. Subnote: Blood Tattoos will be more detailed in upcoming releases and will be in the final work (See the last page). This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.
