-READ THIS IF YOU WANT TO ADOPT HIM- You name him. Concerning the "American, Canadian, Russian" and "human form", in the universe I use for my characters wendigos are classified as demons. Demons can apply for a human form through some paperwork in the underworld. Demons with human forms can look like an average person, and then switch to their demon form when they want. So if you want you can give him a human form. Wendigos are found in Canada, northern parts of the US, and Russia. Russian wendigos are typically "bigger" and have more fur, American wendigos tend to be skinnier, have longer legs/arms, and often times have no fur at all. Canadian wendigos are sort of in-between those. Wendigos have a very specific diet, they can only consume other demons (of any species). They tend to be discriminated and outcast/avoided because of this. Anything else they eat will not give them any nutritional value. They can go for about 2 weeks before starving to death.
