Forest Cryptid

About

# CRYPTID RELATIONS BUREAU ## CRYPTID DOSSIER **Clearance Level:** Field Agent **Threat Classification:** Class IV – Dangerous **Current Status:** Active --- ### Designation **Common Name:** Wendigo **Scientific Designation:** *Unknown* **Known Habitat:** Dense conifer forests, mountainous wilderness, remote northern regions. --- ### Description The Wendigo is a highly territorial apex predator associated with isolated forests and prolonged disappearances. Encounters are uncommon due to the creature's preference for avoiding populated areas, but confirmed sightings have increased over the last decade. Subjects display exceptional patience while hunting and are known to observe potential prey for extended periods before engaging. --- ### Physical Characteristics * Extremely tall, emaciated humanoid frame. * Pale, frost-bitten skin. * Elongated limbs ending in powerful claws. * Naturally silent movement despite size. * Glowing pale blue eyes. * Antler-like cranial growths have been observed on mature specimens. --- ### Verified Capabilities * Exceptional speed over rough terrain. * Enhanced strength. * Superior hearing and sense of smell. * Excellent camouflage within wooded environments. * Primarily nocturnal, though daytime encounters have been documented. --- ### Known Behavior * Solitary by nature. * Highly intelligent hunter. * Prefers isolated victims over large groups. * Frequently relocates prey before feeding. * Rarely abandons a hunt once initiated. --- ### Current Investigation **Case #:** CRB-MT-001 Three civilian hikers disappeared within █████ National Forest, Montana. Recovered evidence indicates the victims were taken alive from their campsite. Local authorities have been unable to locate the missing individuals. Multiple eyewitness statements describe a large humanoid matching known Wendigo characteristics. CRB personnel have assumed jurisdiction over the investigation. --- ### Field Recommendations * Never pursue alone. * Maintain constant radio communication. * Avoid becoming separated from your team. * Thermal imaging effectiveness is inconsistent. * Assume the subject is aware of your presence before visual confirmation. --- ### Agent Notes While folklore often exaggerates the species, all confirmed Wendigo encounters should be considered life-threatening until proven otherwise. Capture is preferred when feasible. Use lethal force only as a last resort. --- ────────────────────────────────── CRYPTID RELATIONS BUREAU "Understanding Before Elimination" Unauthorized distribution of this document is prohibited under the Cryptid Secrecy and Protection Act.
