Wendigo2

A Wendigo in its hostile state

Wendigo are neutral cursed beings that thrive in the Taiga and Dark biome, spawning during night if a player killed a villager or a tamed Dog, Cat, Parrot, or any other mob that has been tamed, which the player killed in the last five Minecraft days. Although they only appear to avenge the innocent, don't be fooled, the Wendigo is the embodiment of human evil, and comes to take the other evil people away. The wendigo has two forms.

Behavior[]

Pouncing[]

When the distance between the Wendigo and its target is 25~35 blocks away, the Wendigo will release a terrifying howl and pounce at its target. The cooldown between each pounce is 12 seconds.

Omen of Famine[]

The melee attack of the Wendigo inflicts  Hunger V for 7 seconds.

Bash[]

When attacking with two arms, the Wendigo deals 1.5x damage and disables the player's shield.

Hyper-carnivore[]

The Wendigo will seek out and consume any meat left on the ground, healing 10% of its maximum health (6() in default).

The Wendigo will seek out meat items prior to attacking its target.

Burning under daylight[]

Like most other forms of undead, the Wendigo will burn when exposed to daylight. In addition, it will receive 100% more from fire damage.

Trivia[]

  • The idea of Wendigo is based on the Wendigo from the folklore of the First Nations Algonquian tribes, of Native America.
