Wendigo (World of Darkness)

The Wendigo are a fictional tribe of werewolves from White Wolf Game Studio's role-playing game, Werewolf: The Apocalypse. The Wendigo are comprised of wolves and indigenous peoples of the Arctic and Subarctic of North America and to a lesser degree Siberia. Unlike their Brother Tribe the Uktena they have not actively begun to include other cultures outside of their traditional Kinfolk into the tribe. As a whole the Wendigo tribe carries a grudge against the rest of the Garou Nation (of which they only consider themselves nominally part of) for the conquest of their caerns and protectorates during the European colonization of North America. It was this reckless time period that lead the Wendigo and Uktena to refer to non-Native Garou as Wyrmbringers. The grudge against Wyrmbringer Tribes can be expressed as mild condescension and mistrust among mainstream Wendigo to violent confrontation and guerilla warfare among the more extreme groups of the Tribe. Even before the conquest of the Pure Lands the Wendigo have had a reputation as savage and viscious fighters; this has lead them to have strong rivalries with the Get of Fenris tribe whom have a similar reputation.
