1) The Wendigo is found in Algonquin mythology. This malevolent spirit is capable of inhabiting a human host and awakening socially-isolating cannibalistic behaviors. Some believed that Wendigo grew physically larger with each meal while others thought that the Wendigo grew more powerful by assuming another person’s body, soul and life experience. The Wendigo pictured seems to have incorporated his cannibalism into part of some weird war ritual; those vanquished in battle are eaten making the warrior as powerful as however many men he’s devoured. If he were to eat a Scout he’d gain a wide range of merit badge level knowledge.

 

2) Sasquatch is perhaps the North America’s most celebrated cryptid. Much like a feral J.D. Salinger, after starring in the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film, very little has been seen of him. Many of his modern-day ‘appearances’ (selling beef jerky and whatnot) are simply a man in a monkey suit as Bigfoot (his name was changed before he began work in Hollywood - Sasquatch was considered too ethnic) is no longer working in film. There has been one exception in his avoidance of the spotlight: He formed a rock supergroup with the members of Tenacious D. This musical effort was short-lived, however, and Sasquatch quickly returned to his home in the North-West woods.

 

3) The Yeti is roughly considered the Himalayan equivalent of Sasquatch.  While Sasquatch has acted on film there is very little evidence of the Yeti’s existence. What we do have is the Pangboche scalp and hand along with some unidentified fecal leavings, assumed to be that of the Abominable Snowman’s. The hand is very well known. Jimmy Stewart, Tom Slick, Sir Edmund Hillary and Marlin Perkins, among others, have shook it.
