Elder Wendigo

Actions

Multiattack. The Wendigo can make two claw attacks and a bite attack on its turn.   Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., Hit: 12 2d8+4 piercing damage. On a hit, the target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take an additional 9 2d8 necrotic damage.   Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d8 + 4) slashing or piercing damage plus 3 (1d6) cold damage.   Maddening Feast. The Wendigo feasts on the corpse of one enemy within 5 feet of it that died within the past minute. Each creature of the Wendigo’s choice that is within 60 feet of her and able to see her must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of her for 1 minute. While frightened in this way, a creature is incapacitated, can’t understand what others say, can’t read, and speaks only in gibberish; the DM controls the creature’s movement, which is erratic. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature’s saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the Wendigo’s Maddening Feast for the next 24 hours.

Regional Effects

The region containing an Elder Wendigo's lair is warped by the it's magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:  

• Chilly fog lightly obscures the land within 6 miles of the wendigo's lair.

• Freezing precipitation falls within 6 miles of the Wendigo's lair, sometimes forming blizzard conditions when it is at rest.

• Hunger, covetousness, and cannibalistic propensities are amplified within a 10 mile radius of the Wendigo's lair. This does not have any directly debilitating effects, but it should be described in such a fashion as to indicate those feelings increasing in intensity as the players near the lair.

A wendigo that has eaten many meals grows not only in size but also in malice. Stag-like horn growths appear on its head, its ribs burst out of its chest, and its once humanoid skull transforms into that of a deer-like shape, its skin and eyes gone. Wendigos are already a force to be reckoned with, but with time and food they can dominate entire landscapes.

Arctic, areas of supernatural cold, any lands experiencing winter.
