They'd begun by talking about Indian folklore and the subject of the Wendigo had come up. "Both the Chippewa and Ojibwa tribes tel a similar story of a fierce warrior who would cut off a piece of his enemy's flesh after defeating him in battle and eat it to gain strength. This warrior soon developed a taste for human flesh and began to prey on his own tribe. He began to prey ...on his own tribe. He ceased to hunt animals and sustained himself solely on other humans. So the Master Of Life, the Great Spirit, decreed that if he chose to live as a savage beast then he would forever appear as a monster and transformed him into the Wendigo. Now he is said to prowl the forests and frozen wastelands of North America, starving for human flesh.
