Welp, time to type out the wendigo thing on this
Wendigos in the wastes
Wendigos are a type of mutant that come from humanoid mutant meat, the effects of the mutation is sharpened teeth, elongated fingers, a drastic increase in height, the look of being malnourished, sharpened fingernails, pale skin, and a case of schizophrenia with a voice in their head. Most go insane from the voice, indulging in their cravings of human flesh. The base species is the most common. The more rare versions of them are the Canyon Dwellers and the Canadian Wendigo
The Canyon Dwellers reside in the Mississippi desert's canyon, another name for them are Albino Wendigos and The Canyon People. They make their dens in canyons due to being hyper sensitive to light, they come out during the night to hunt for what ever they can find.
The Canadian Wendigos are Lycans that ate mutant or Lucan flesh, they basically turned primal due to this. They're main identifiers are blood-stained fur (or skin), being hunched over, and larger then the average human. The other name of the Canadian Wendigos are the Were-Beast.
But not all Wendigos go insane, some do retain their sanity, due to either having experience from a previous case of schizophrenia or from pure determination. They still have the cravings, they try to keep the, at bay from eating meat.
