Level - 3

Name: Weredigo, Undead Wendigo

Appearance:
Weredigo is a nine foot tall humanoid with a lean frame. It is a cross between a man and a wolf, with a sharp wolf face, with massive teeth constantly stretched into a wicked looking smile. Since its death (read history) it has become a festered version of what it was before, with much of its body rotten off. Its once thick brown fur is mottled, dirty and with large missing patches. The creature's right arm was cut off before its death and has been replaced with a twisted one of steel that ends in wickedly curved claws. Though the arm appears to be nothing more than steel, it pulses with a dark internal energy.

History:
Over a century ago this particular Wendigo terrorized one of the forests of Raiaera, mindlessly slaughtering everything that it encountered. But despite the east’s bloodthirsty ferocity, it never made more than a minor footnote in the Raiaeran history books. The reason for this was simple, almost as soon as the beast began to draw attention to itself it was hunted down and put to the sword by a band of nameless heroes.

With its corpse carefully put down and preserved by the same heroes who had slaughtered it, the beast’s remains went unnoticed through Xem’Xund’s rampage across Raiaera. Within the last year, however, some unknown force has discovered the beast’s resting place and has revived it. The resulting creature, complete with a newly fashioned arm of twisted steel, has become known as Weredigo by the few survivors of its horrific raids. Though it is unknown who resurrected the Weredigo or why, the attacks show some hint of a greater plan that has yet to unfurl.

Tactics:
Weredigo watches its prey with its lifesight, waiting with the patience that only the undead can for the perfect opportunity to strike. When it senses that the opportunity is at hand, it summons its cloud of fog to obscure the vision of the hapless targets and send them into a state of confusion before leaping upon them, its lifesight allowing it to easily see its prey.

Skills/Equipment/Attributes:
Supernatural Strength – Weredigo is extremely powerful, with enough strength to bend steel and gouge stone. Weredigo is roughly four times stronger than a normal warrior.

Lifesight – Rather than viewing the world as a normal, living creature would, Weredigo senses things by the amount of life and vitality that they possess. Living creatures appear as outlines of life force to Weredigo and thus his vision cannot be impaired in any way.

Cloud of Fog – Weredigo’s skin produces a thick cloud of fog around it when the creature begins to hunt. The fog heavily reduces visibility around Weredigo so that creatures caught in it can only see about five feet in front of them.

Claws – Weredigo’s remaining real arm is tipped with hardened, jagged claws.

The Dark Claw - The twisted metal arm that replaces Weredigo’s missing one appears to be regular steel, but is infused with a dark stone of power. Once every two rounds of posting, Weredigo can unleash a pulse of dark energy from the claw that saps the life from whoever it strikes. Weredigo doesn’t actually have to wound his victim with this to drain their life, merely make contact. The life draining process leaves a victim cold and weak, and though it doesn’t kill them outright, it leaves them in a position where the undead creature’s overwhelming strength and jagged claws will.

Score Needed to Defeat: 50

Experience/Gold/Items Earned:
The Dark Claw – You have retrieved the twisted metal arm from the Weredigo’s body. While the dark energy infused steel isn’t a very suitable weapon in itself, a master smith may be able to reforge it into a weapon that allows its user to make a life draining attack once per day similar to the Weredigo’s own.
