Wendigo (Cthulhu Mythos)

Wendigo is the main creature in 
== Bio ==
In Algernon Blackwood's The Wendigo, the titular monster is a large beast that takes up humans as companions, apparently affecting their minds in some way and forcing them to run through the forest side by side with the creature. The Wendigo's presence is signaled by a strong smell. The creature runs at extreme speeds, burning the ground with its footsteps and running over the treetops, possibly to the point of running in the air itself. The abducted human will be forced to run so fast to accompany it that their feet will burn away, and regrow in the shape of the Wendigo's feet. Once in the sky, the Wendigo will drop its human companion to the ground. Those who survive the experience may still find themselves physically and psychologically altered somehow. In contrast to the well-known tales about cannibalism, Blackwood's Wendigo feeds exclusively on moss.
In "The Seal of R'lyeh", by August Derleth, the Wendigo is identified as a cousin of Ithaqua, and master of the Shantaks that fly from 
Kadath in the Cold Waste to do its bidding. Both Ithaqua and the Wendigo are also known as "Wind-Walker".
