I have spent time in both of those countries and can confirm that what you can find outside of the country is just a pale shadow of the amazingness that you can get in country. As an aside, Korea has the ABSOLUTE BEST KFC in the entire world. I don't know if they are cooking the chicken differently or what but it was amazing. Even the cole slaw...

Sloth the Enduring Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Wow. Shaar is back. That’s supposed to be a Wendigo. I don’t know where it’s from.Last week I was in a group and an elder talked about Wendigos. You might want to avoid them. 1 Quote “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment

GoodDoug Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 I've always wondered what the relationship is between wendigos and chupacabras. Like, are they different names for the same thing? Are they distinct, but generically related species? Are they distinct genera, but have similar life histories? Inquiring minds want to know. 1 Quote Half Ogre Ranger Devourer of Pastries Link to comment

I doubt it. My knowledge of Wendigos is fuzzy, but I believe the myth has something to do with cannibalism. After checking the first paragraph of the wikipedia entry, a Wendigo was once a human being who became possessed by the spirit of the Wendigo. The Chubacabra was never human, but is a cryptid. It's also vampiric, with it's main victims being livestock. It's name literally means Goat-sucker (as in blood, get your mind out of the gutter). 1 Quote Current Challenge "By the Most-Righteous-and-Blessed Beard of Sir Tanktimus the Encourager!" - Jarl Rurik Harrgath Link to comment

Sloth the Enduring Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Here’s what I was told. A Wendigo’s great sin is greed. During the winter if people don’t share, people die. A Wendigo is someone who hoarded food, let others die, and cannibalized them. His greed and hunger consumes and twists him into an insatiable man-eating monster. 1 3 1 Quote “We might as well start where we are, use what we have and do what we can." – Caitlin Rivers Sloth: The Man with the Hammer battle log Link to comment
