TIL
Wendigo
Mythical creature

Wendigo is a mythological creature or evil spirit originating from Algonquian folklore. The concept of the wendigo has been widely used in literature and other works of art, such as social commentary and horror fiction. The wendigo is often said to be a malevolent spirit, sometimes depicted as a creature with human-like characteristics, which possesses human beings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendigo

Here's a better reference for !lemmyshitpost: https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Windigos

They're not exactly mythical. It's also a description of a type of psychosis that leads to cannibalism.

breed wendigos

Got a couple of acres in the swamp, I could do this. Deadfalls everywhere, just gotta find one in front of sour ground.

"Sometimes dead is bettah."

Here you go

On second thought, scratch the whole wendigo idea. Perhaps I'll just stick to breeding normal critters like raccoons or sasquatches.

There's already enough monsters with an insatiable appetites fed by blood and suffering who's appetite grows the more they consume: billionaires.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 6 points 2 years ago

Perhaps billionaires are just wendigos with a job… 🤔

Well that's no way to raise a loyal nightmare army

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago

Idk man, I think sasquatches are probably a lot more loyal than wendigos.

I new i couldn't be the only one who thought that.

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Zero reason not to do this if that's what your heart is telling you. Just leave a note for your loved ones to find 10 years after you leave.

[–] numberfour002@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Okay, but I'd rather breed chupacabras. I do have a gift for making things suck, after all.

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For a second I thought that was going towards Ted Kaminski.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 3 points 2 years ago

Sorta, but without the mail bombs.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So Diana's been breeding wendigos this whole time?

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago

For all we know…

Until Dawn?

You might wanna read up on wendigos before going down that path. I don't think they'd make very good pets.
