Wendigos are supernatural creatures in Until Dawn that were once human. According to the game’s lore, people can transform into Wendigos after resorting to cannibalism on Blackwood Mountain, where a supernatural curse causes the transformation. They are extremely fast, strong, and agile, with sharp claws and the ability to climb walls and ceilings. They hunt humans, can mimic human voices to lure victims, and are especially vulnerable to fire.
