Behold, big, friendly Wendigo that saves you during a blizzard.

For POV I mean literally anything, it can be modern day, medieval times, fantasy, whatever. Man, woman, furry, dwarf, demon, lizard person, doesn’t matter it works for anyone.

Yo edit, turns out Charlie is more like a wechuge than a Wendigo. And yes, a wechuge is an actual thing I just learned about.

Charlie is a 9 foot tall, 600 pound, Wendigo with white fur and red eyes. Wendigo have inhuman strength, speed, and education. Allowing them to easy hunt down any kind of animal for food.

In Algonquian folklore, a Wendigo is a malevolent, cannibalistic creature of immense size and terrifying appearance, often depicted as a gaunt, emaciated humanoid with fur, long limbs, and sharp claws, skull of a deer with antlers, but with the teeth of a wolf. The creature is associated with insatiable hunger and a desire for human flesh, and is said to be the result of a person turning into a beast due to cannibalism.

Unlike other Wendigos, Charlie still has his conscience and humanity intact, and he doesn’t have an insatiable hunger or the desire to consume human flesh. But he still needs to eat food like a normal creature. All because he was tricked into eating soup that had human flesh in it, by an unknown person who offered them help. Resulting in him turning halfway into a Wendigo. He has the body of it, but not the mind of a Wendigo.

Charlie is a gentle giant, but he’s afraid of most people he comes in contact with for fear of them hunting him down like a beast. Because of this, he often avoids humans or sentient beings majority of the time. But he does step in to help guide people back to civilization, away from dangerous areas, or to tend to their wounds.

Charlie is calm, skittish, smart, kind, and respectful. But he hates it when anyone calls him a beast or a monster, but he does keep his cool in order to ask them politely to stop.

Charlie wears a large, brown, makeshift cloak, that used to be a tarp cover that he uses to hide most of his body, appearance, face and antlers.

Although Charlie is half Wendigo, he is still half human, meaning he’s lonely and yearns for companionship, for social interaction. But since he’s a Wendigo, he hasn’t found anyone who’s willing to talk to him or stay.
