THE WENDIGO

"The hunger never ends."

A relentless predator driven by an ancient curse, The Wendigo stalks its prey through the darkness, feeding on fear before delivering a brutal death. Survivors who linger too long become overwhelmed by its presence, making escape nearly impossible.

Power – Primal Hunger

The Wendigo enters a supernatural hunting state fueled by starvation.

Press and hold the Power Button to enter Primal Hunger.

While Primal Hunger is active:

  • Gain 8% movement speed.
  • Scratch Marks appear brighter and last 2 seconds longer.
  • Vault windows and break pallets 20% faster.
  • Survivors within 20 meters accumulate Dread over time.

When a Survivor reaches maximum Dread, they suffer:

  • Oblivious
  • Exhausted
  • Loud breathing and occasional hallucinations of the Wendigo nearby.

Special Attack – Ravenous Pounce

While in Primal Hunger, press the Attack button to perform a long forward leap. Successfully striking a Survivor ends Primal Hunger and inflicts damage.

Weapon

Ravenous Claws

Twisted hands ending in jagged bone-like claws sharpened by endless hunger.

Perks

Endless Hunger

Your curse grows stronger every time prey escapes your grasp.

After a Survivor escapes a chase, gain a token.

At 3/2/1 tokens, your next successful hit applies Hemorrhage and Mangled until healed.

"No meal is ever enough."

Frozen Terror

Your presence chills the soul.

Whenever a Survivor enters your Terror Radius, they suffer 5% slower healing and repair speeds.

The penalty lingers for 6/8/10 seconds after leaving your Terror Radius.

"The cold arrives before the monster."

Predator's Instinct

Nothing hides from an apex hunter.

After damaging a Generator, Survivors within 24 meters scream and reveal their location for 3/4/5 seconds.

This perk has a 40-second cooldown.

"Run. It already knows where you're going."

Mori – Devoured Alive

The Wendigo grabs the Survivor by the throat and lifts them into the air.

It lets out an inhuman shriek before plunging its claws into the Survivor's chest, pinning them to the ground. As the Survivor struggles, the Wendigo tears away flesh with its jagged teeth before finishing with a savage bite to the neck.

The creature stands over the body, emitting one final haunting scream before disappearing into the darkness.

Difficulty: ★★★☆ (Hard)

Playstyle:

  • Tracking
  • Chase pressure
  • Fear and debuff management
  • High mobility through aggressive hunting

This concept is designed to feel like an official Dead by Daylight killer: a fast, terrifying hunter that becomes stronger the longer it tracks survivors rather than relying on stealth alone.
