what is Wendigo?

Answer 1

The Wendigo (also Windigo, Wiindigoo, and numerous other variants, possibly from the words "ween dagoh" which means "solely for self" or "weenin n'd'igooh" which means "fat" or excess) is a spirit in Anishinaabe mythology. It has also become a stock horror character much like the vampire or werewolf, although these fictional depictions often do not bear much resemblance to the original mythology. The most comprehensive resource on the original Wendigo myth is John Robert Colombo's anthology. It contains stories and poems on the Wendigo, many inspired by Algernon Blackwood's, as well as an article on the allegedly real condition Windigo psychosis.

Answer 2

It's a lower level mob (Level 3-7) found outside of Dun Morogh, which sometimes drops Wendigo Collar, Wendigo Fur Cloak and Wendigo Mane. Although the last item is quest item only.

Answer 3

The Wendigo Poem

Answer 4

it said that cannibals were at particularly higher risk to be possessed by the wendigo,so to avoid eating flesh didn't mean you'd get avoided by the wendigo altogether..it is also said that "Wendigos were embodiments of gluttony, greed, and excess" and that a human overpowered by greed could be at risk from a wendigo,so i think what it really says apart from "don't eat you sister" is that be a good boy..though it's possible that it is only in the mind,such as suggested by the wendigo psychosis,so if that's the case,then therapy would be the best protection
