new/updated spoiler for my upcoming mod:
the wendigo at first glance is no more than a mere horse, but wait... a horse? in a cold biome? yes, if you see a horse in this arctic nightmare then you'd best turn around. for those foolish enough to approach the pale mare, a grousom fate awaits. for this symbol of death quickly transfer's from a lost pony to a sight from hell. the beast only spawns once per-world and when it does, it's nefarious, malevolent intent is no joke. this lost mare of doom quickly transforms to a bipedal, humanoid creature with the skeletal face of a horse and the nightmarish horns of an elk. the rot that covers this abomination's body is that of a 3-month-dead swine. the pale, white eyes of the wendigo shine through the darkness no matter what form it takes. wendigo's are attacked by Dire Wolves, and Snow golems. obviously, these creatures are of no threat to this nightmare but they can be a good distraction to escape. but beware, for dire wolves like the taste of human flesh as well. wendigo's will, on ocasion take the form the of a random player in the server, or if on singleplayer the creature takes the form of steve. the only recognizable difference between the player, and its wendigo counterpart is the eyes, the eyes shine like the morning star at dawn.
(herobine anyone?)
