Okay, so to start off; the wendigo is a fictional creature from native American mythology. In the legends, wendigo are created by a human eating the flesh of another human. This act of cannibalism allows evil spirits into the soul of the cannibal in question, turning the human into a blood-crazed monster. This does seem a bit dark for Pokémon, but can we remember banette for a bit? due to the Canadian and Alaskan setting of the myth, a wendigo-like Pokémon could be an ice type. Because of the spiritual origin of the wendigo, I thought about ghost type as well, but I eventually settled on the dark type as wendigo are definitely not ghosts themselves, wendigo being the name of the creature, not the evil spirit. Because wendigo grow in proportion to how much they eat (causing them to be forever hungry), a wendigo-like Pokémon would be a great choice for a full evolution chain, as well as having a mega-evolution or the battle bond ability. Names for a wendigo-like Pokémon could be: Malrat (first form), Wenrat (second form), and Malder (third form). As for design, I think that simply the traditional image of a wendigo in shades of blue and gray would work well, with the mega evolution having swirls of spiritual energy around the body, and the dark type switching to ghost.


So, there you go. The wendigo and why it should be a Pokémon. I hope you agree with my ideas and please comment to give me yours!


thank you for you time,

(by the way, Simon isn't my actual name. just wanted to put something other than 'AlphaWendigo' here. :3)
