Wendigo has a tail that it can use as a weapon, also durability should be 7 and toughness about +6...
overall, nice work...

In the classic game Wendigo's armor was amazing, this translates to +8 (compared to Thing's armor which was only Incredible or +6 in the new system). But his monstrous durabilty should indeed translated only to 6 endurance.
And good point about the tail, I changed that.

I don't like direct conversions between systems 'cause the process usually distortes character balance, (durability for example is more than just your endurance it's also your health and effectiveness[multi-tasking ect. ect.]). I did however do a playtest (onetimer only) and current version works quite nicely...

The Marvel Wendigo dosent really follow the real folklore... The folklore wendigo have no hair and its skinny and undead-zombie-style-like... The book i saw it in said something like this: Thew wendigo is both a spirit and a demon. It enters the person, and forces him into killing his family, and eat their flesh. When this foul dead is done, it flees into the forest, completing the final stat of the curse, becoming a demon seeking human fleshThere is however other version of wendigo... Werewolf... Deer horned thing... Hairy apething... I like the deer horned thing... but dosent look canibalistic to me though... store.rabbitvalley.org/item_3052_1302.htmlBut it looks cool... BUT I LUVE THE MARVEL WENDIGO!! its so soft and fluffy ^_^
