[center][size=2]Impulse buys. Impulse buys everywhere.. Anyways, I bought this boy a few days ago, and finally got around to dressing him~ [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=42896369] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/428964/42896369_350.png[/img] [/url] And I was having trouble dressing him. I found inspiration in the weirdest place. I was watching The newest Ghost Adventures on wednesday, and the Lewis Flats School episode is where I found it. If you've seen the episode, then I'll bet you remember the shadow dude that appeared in the door (A [i][b]BIG[/i][/b] no go, btw). And well, when they talked about being in skin-walker territory, I had the idea.. Dressed him up last night and I'm happy <3 He just needs ghost to make that extra little spoopy factor (: Now, about the title. I just want to see your skin-walkers/wendigos, since I think people get them mixed up (I know I did) I know I've seen a bunch of wendigo's on FR (:

My boy Wendigo is supposed to be a to-key reference to Native folklore! I'm not sure if skin-walkers are anything like them because I've never heard of Ghost Adventures ^^' [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=30255348] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/302554/30255348_350.png[/img] [/url] He doesn't really outwardly look like a wendigo specifically, since it's a spirit that possesses him (seen in his skincent). His lore is that he was chained in the Fortress of Ends for a long time, but broke free. The spirit is still trapped within his frozen body, though, and it still controls him.

Oh you should watch it. I love it, and they catch some good evidence of ghosts.

Wendigo's are kinda like skin-walkers, but skin walkers are more like.. Shapeshifters in a way, while wendigo's are just the monster they are.
Here's the definition from wikipedia~

Skin-walker: In Navajo culture, a skin-walker (yee naaldlooshii) is a type of harmful witch who has the ability to turn into, possess, or disguise themselves as an animal.

Wendigo: In Algonquian folklore, the wendigo or windigo is a mythical man eating monster or evil spirit native to the northern forests of the Atlantic Coast and Great Lakes Region of both the United States and Canada.[1] The wendigo may appear as a monster with some characteristics of a human or a spirit who has possessed a human being and made them become monstrous.

So kind of the same..

Your boy looks cool :D I remember seeing him a few times before ^^

Thank you C:: They certainly seem a lot similar, yeah! I'm real familiar with the wendigo legend in general, and it's weird that I have never heard of a skin-walker, given how interested I am in Native American culture. We learn something new every day XD

I think I'll check the series out, I love me a good ghost show where they actually find convincing evidence *thinking face*

The main difference is that Wendigo are cannibalism demons which are primarily driven by their hunger for human flesh.

I haven't heard of a skinwalker eating people, but I suppose it's possible. They are, from what I understand of it, more like tricksters.

Aaaaalso it's bad luck to talk about them. Apparently. Probably why people haven't heard of them. You really have to dig deep into cryptid lore and there isn't much information about skinwalkers in general.

As far as I know, even talking about them to certain Natives will make them assume that you could possibly be one. Or that you are being followed by one.

@Meilkor

Yeah. The wiki doesn't have a lot, and it said that the tribes keep the stories to themselves most of the time.
They are really cool sounding though. I'd never want to meet one irl, but still xD

@Fourr

I used to do a lot of research into the paranormal due to some weird experiences I had as a kid, but yeah.

I've heard a lot of rumors about them, like you're not supposed to talk about them/acknowledge them. I've also heard that they often are out at night because it's easier to shift in the darkness.

I am pretty sure it's not a 'curse' though, like the Wendigo is. It always seemed more like... a shamanistic thing to me.
