wendigo -- cold-hunger predator (Monster Lineage)

Playable Awakened Nature. Unlocks Carrion. Tank label: Feral Heat.
Hungrier than Ghouls; more willing to hunt the living when no corpse is in reach. Living fire (immolate / ignite) finishes them -- decapitation fails (help incap).

How you play
  1. feast <body>           bank Feral Heat from fresh corpses
  2. larder <body>          stock aging meat into Larder (score + nest look)
  3. larder draw            pull Feral Heat from the bank
  4. mimic                  Adept+ -- false cry to lure prey
  5. phantomstep            Expert+ -- hop to nest / home
  6. gnaw / rend / howl     living pressure when the cold bites
  7. form                   true form for predatory bursts
  8. carrion                status: Feral Heat tank, Larder bank, and gates

Top stats lean POW / VIT / FIN.

Empty Feral Heat abandons stealth -- Frenzy / Cadence rush the nearest living prey. Moss still buries; Pike still scavenges; Bitter (peaceful sewer townsfolk) and hostile Wendigos always drive to stock aging meat into a larder even when sated, then feast when hungry -- racing Pike from Bitter's Hovel off Sewer West. The anonymous sewer drifter still hunts separately.
