Wendigo Fever
One of the most dreaded supernatural maladies is the Wendigo Fever. There are two primary ways to become afflicted. The most common means of contraction is through encountering a Wendigo, either by sensory or physical contact. It has been recorded that individuals who have touched one or have been wounded by one have been known to contract the malady. Contraction can also occur through the senses. People who have seen a Wendigo or heard it’s wail have contracted the Fever.
The second manner is less common but far more insidious. A powerful witch or shaman can place sensations of great hunger and images of a wendigo in a person’s dreams and they will contract the Fever.
Wendigo Fever is characterized by the following symptoms:
1)Steady and increasing pain and burning in one’s extremities
2)Steady and increasing hunger for fatty and savory foods, especially meats
3)Fever
4)Weight loss
5)Sallow skin color
6)Anthropomorphic dreams and hallucinations
IMPORTANT! If the victim reports that their loves ones look like anthropomorphize beavers, he/she has Type 2 and the victim should be put out of their misery as soon as possible.
There are two forms of Wendigo Fever:
Type 1: The victim is driven insane by the pain and hunger and turn into a cannibalistic, homicidal maniac
Type 2: The victim eventually transforms into a Wendigo and his/her loved ones are the first to be killed
There is no known cure of Wendigo Fever. It is rumored that shamans from the northern Great Lakes tribes and from Canada have a means to retard it’s development.
