Description The Wendigo is a demonic creature from the legends of Native people. It use to be a person that has become cursed because they have eaten human flesh. They wander the land seeking to fulfill their appetite for cannibalism.

During the Third Thunder War there was a standstill between the Republic of Daron and the United Territories of Tresh. The frontlines of the war were constantly shifting and neither side was able to gain a foothold for long. This stalemate was due to the relatively equal technological levels between the countries and each brought the full might of their weapons against each other. This began an arms race to develop the weapon that would end the war. The Republic of Daron began developing a modular weapon to combat the Territories of Tresh’s vehicular advantages. This weapon was designed to be smuggled into the borders of Tresh with a strike team where it would be assembled and used against Tresh’s supply lines as well as against their tanks and artillery. This project was known as W-22 or Project Wendigo.
Project Wendigo was started by Dr. Stuffbox Vanderhoff. His contributions to the technological developments of the Republic of Daron. Upon the completion of his Project Wendigo he insisted to test it himself in the field. He was smuggled in to the UTT with a strike team and they began their field tests of the Wendigo.

Wendigo is a black liquid like substance with some intelligence. The Wendigo feeds on machinery and takes parts of the machinery and slowly replaces it’s body mass with vehicle machinery. The Wendigo becomes a living machine capable of manipulate all different types of machinery. Depending on what the Wendigo devours it will repurpose parts of those vehicles for its own use. This ability of the Wendigo allows it to become an effective weapon for a variety of situations depending on the machinery the Wendigo devours. While the Wendigo can repurpose a larger amount of machinery than it’s body mass it becomes slower and some of the parts get in the way of other parts and the Wendigo becomes less effective overall. The Wendigo is capable of operating almost all kinds of weapons and properly maintain the weapons and machines it is connected too. The Wendigo can’t generate ammo and must gather what it can. The Wendigo’s weaknesses are connected to the vehicles and other machinery it has devoured but anti-tank weapons and flamethrowers are almost always effective. It is possible for the Wendigo to separate themselves from their machine parts but it is painful.

The Wendigo has the brain capacity of a dog and can follow orders and basic commands. As time passes the Wendigo’s intelligence grows that rivals that of a human’s. While the Wendigo can act on its own it is far more effective with a small support team.

Fascinating concept. Each of these is a different Wendigo then?

Yes, each Wendigo has devoured different machinery. It all depends on the parts they eat for example they could eat parts from a tank and a plane, and the Wendigo might fly and shoot a huge gun.
