Can I correct you about gryphon or whoever wrote the script. Actually gryphons are actually half cat half bird. Most commonly lion eagle hybrids. Interesting video you made my potato friend. And also you should make one that cover gaming oriented fursona speices like us argonians, kahjits, Pokemon, Pandarans, etc.
It's also much more correct to say that they originate in Ancient Near Eastern mythology. The first gryphons show up around 3000...ish BC (or, rather, those are the earliest records currently known to still exist). The oldest depiction I know of is the Two Dog Pallete (www.ashmolean.org/two-dog-palette), which dates from 3300-3100 BC. If you follow Wikipedia links, you'll get to a line drawing that's supposedly copied from a c. 3000BC cylinder seal from what Susa, a city in what was then Elam, now located in modern-day Iran (www.alamy.com/stock-photo-persian-griffin-nfrom-an-antique-cylinder-seal-c3000-bc-found-at-susa-95452150.html), but I haven't been able to find anything reliable about it-no paper or book cited, no depictions of the actual seal, and no academic or academic-ish discussions of Elamite griffins older than the second millenium BC (www.iranicaonline.org/articles/cylinder-seals; www.iranicaonline.org/uploads/files/Cylinder_Seals/v6f5a019_f11_300.jpg). Unless Amiet (1972) depicts older gryphons. I can't find a pdf to check. Maybe that's the origin of the random uncited line drawing? As far as origins in Persian mythology goes...eh...that's not quite true and could mislead a lot of people. In spite of the geographic locality, the people living in Elam at that time weren't Iranians (people often assume Persian is exactly equivalent to Iranian). Iranians are a widespread ethnolinguistic group which didn't even exist yet when those first griffins were depicted. Their ancestors at the time were either still speaking Proto-Indo-European or Indo-Iranian, depending on the century. Elam and its people were culturally part of the Ancient Near East. Griffins were absolutely important in Iranian art later on, but they didn't start out there. So whether they started geographically closer to modern Egypt or modern Iran, they're still within the Ancient Near East sphere, and that's a different set of mythologies than actual Iranian cultures have held, though parts of it (like gryphons) were lifted by some of them, including the various Persian Empires.
Fun fact! In old english, (like about a thousand years ago) the word "were" actually meant "man"! So seeing as we don't use it anymore on its own, "werewolf" (man-wolf) is one of those old, old words that should be kept as a historical part of the english language. It also weird to think how long these creatures have existed in fiction.... >.>
I believe "were" is a slight change from "wer", seen in the use of the word wergild, which basically means man-pay, a sort of "life insurance" a king pays the family of a man slain in his service. I forget what the name of these sorts of words were called.
@@ednaoverboard1052 There's a lot of similarities in the ancient european languages. Heck, man, I have a book of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight that has a modern translation as well as the original english text, and it's nowhere near the same language we speak today. Real fun times if you look into mythology and ancient texts.

You furs and stormi make me so happy thank you
I have a demon character that's essentially just furry Chucky lmao. The backstory behind her is that Ali, my main fursona (who's a dragon) was shot and killed during a robery so two of my other fursonas decided to take her heart and put it in a giant rabbit plushie so they can summon her spirit and bring her back to life, but they did the ritual wrong and ended up also summoning a demon to take possess the plushie along with Ali's soul. Long story short a big plushy demon rabbit ends up murdering everyone and it was mostly just an excuse for me to make a plushsuit lmao
If a unicorn has a symbol on its butt and walks on 4 legs, it's a Brony. If a unicorn doesn't have any symbol on its butt, has some colorful patterns on its body and is able to walk on 2 legs, it's a unicorn Fursona.
Clearly though, you haven't seen the mlp fursuits that stand on two legs. Also, what does colorful patterns have to do with being just a furry? There are plenty of mlp furries who have colorful patterns on them!
@@ShadowChromia ,first of all, MLP suits are not called "Fursuits", and secondly, MLP fans have colorful patterns on their hair, not their bodies. Furry Fans focus their OC design more on the torso. And when I say "walk on 4 legs" here, I mean when a MLP character is drawn or in the reference sheet, they usually stand on 4 legs, I haven't seen any Brony drawing that has Ponies that walk on 2 legs. And of course Brony Suits have to be on 2 legs, no one can stand on 4 limbs the whole day in a suit.
I know I’m really late and all but whatever, a chimera is a body of a lion, head of a lion with a dragon head to one side of the lion head, and a goat head to the other side of the lion head, it can breath fire (obvs) has dragon wings, and a snake tail that ends in a snake head,
My fursona's are Pooka, a sort of shape shifting fairy from Irish folklore. They're interpreted as tricksters there, but in other parts of the world are seen as good omens. they're most know for taking the forms of a hare, a black stallion, and a human that always has some sort of animal element like wings, horns, or tails. I stretch the shape shifting capability a little further than that and its so much fun!
Somehow the werewolf portion of this video led me to search the definition of animagus, which led me to maledictrus, which made me discover that Nagini used to be human. THANKS. I can't escape my Ravenclaw-ness. 😂
Not sure if you're still looking for folks with mythical fursonas, but I've got one! I'm an alicorn (essentially a unicorn/pegasus). There's not many of us in the fandom, but I hope to see more around soon! Great video, as usual!
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!! I love that these furry TH-camrs take the time to make quality content just to make their fandom look,sound,and make more fun then some people say about it
Awesome vid! I'm a furry, but also a female brony and found it neat that quite a few species you covered are also in the MLP show, as of season 8: Pegasi, unicorns, kirin, griffons, dragons (Western), a chimera (traditional), several manticores, and hippogriffs (plus a Discord)! Truth be told, I hadn't heard of most of them, until MLP. Thanks for spreading them further because they are really cool creatures. Also, happy to have met you at MFF!
My foursona is an Alicorn! (Think of a unicorn/Pegasus hybrid) and one day will make my own partial suit! I would love seeing more of us in the fandom I haven’t met any other Alicorns yet!
Fun fact that this video made me realize: Before my current sona, my very first sona would have been a Chimera much like Chaos (Clockwork) and Discord (MLP). I wish I had known about Chaos back then because people were telling me I couldn't have such a crazy design. They were kinda wrong! xD That's okay, I like my current sona as is!
Stormi! You get a subscribe for the informational video AND for the AMAZING narrator voice!!! Seriously, it's really good. Not many people can pull that off. Lol I geek out over this sort of stuff😂
Oml, you actually added kitsunes :0 I'm so surprised and happy too, because most people forget about kitsunes, my fursona is a kitsune but with mouths on her tails, and I wasn't expecting you to mention them since they aren't that popular, but you actually mentioned them, and that my friend, gets a like from me uwu
I'm not sure if people make this in the fandom but... HellHounds. I looked it up and usually they are either a nightmarish wolf with glowing eyes and flames coming off of them, or they are more bone than they are flesh. I have 2 fursonas that are like this. So I made my first ever fursuit fursona (Krimson Hlavka) into the skeletal type of hellhound. And the second fursona (Pendulus Hlavka) is on the flame, nightmarish, glowing side. I haven't really made the second one into a fursuit yet, but I am hoping in the future I can make him for a friend that I made the fursona for.
A werewolf transforms at a full moon. Lycan (I believe that is how it’s spelled from the Underworld fandom) is a werewolf that can transform into a wolf at any time. If it can turn into an animal at any time (one specific animal) it is Anamagi (from the Harry Potter fandom). There are also many other mythical creatures. My personal favorites are, Peryton’s and oc creatures. (I also love owl snow leopard gryphons.)
Great video! One of my anthro ocs, Mr. Pinkerton (no, his first name is _not_ Floyd) is a monster! He takes traits from kangaroo joeys, sphinx and devon rex cats, and one of my favourite lizards, a tegu!!
I personally like the jackalope. It's a mythical creature that i often saw used in the furry Fandom as a fursona and many people also made their rabbit fursona into a jackalope to give it a nice little feature.
I like kitsune because (even though I'm yet to own one and won't for a while) if I'm not wearing a fursuit I have a lore excuse "I'm just wearing my mask" even though I wouldn't need an excuse I just find it funny (also I have a problem of staying in character too much). like the vid and it's cool to see actual kitsune fursuits.
My sona is a mythical creature! It's the Irish myth of the Puca/Pooka. It's a trickster spirit usually seen as a horse, rabbit, dog, or goat! They can shapeshift and play tricks on humans! If you need info on mythical creatures or cryptids, just ask, as it's my main thesis in my work!
When it comes to dragons... I think there are also smart, lovable, and different elemental types like how Sisu is a water dragon or a genetically engineered hybrid of octoling and some other dragons (The octoling dragon happens to be my SMG4 OC and a baby clone of Desti)
Hello! I have a character that is a quetzalcoatl/ahuizotl hybrid (Quetzalcoatl being a feathered amphithere and ahuizotl being a monkey/dog thing). I haven't seen any American Mythological creatures yet, besides the wendigos, of course! But I think it would be a real treat to see more anthro characters like the thunderbird (which could be a very cool suit with LED lights), the grootslang, and the jaculus!
Don't forget the large category of the Fay! Especially the púca from Irish legend, which is a very customizable character concept I think! Kind of on the same lines as chimera or shapeshifter, draconequus, choose-your-own-body-parts deal. 😅 There's alot of room for interpretation with Irish mythology.
Interesting note: The group known as Hydra actually has an octopus as the logo. I would love to see a Krampus fursuit. My fursona is always adding new features. The external form is set at this point, but the abilities of the average Cyberwolf Hybrid change as the whims of the individual change since they have the ability to mimic and copy any ability they see... much like the Naruto character who uses sharingon.
The first suit pic in the paranormal creatures section looks like it's based off of the animated music video series by Mystery Skulls, starting with the video called Ghost.
I knew Shande is #fabulous, but you are even more #fabulous, PotatoLord! Just out of curiosity, I wonder if a chupacabra is a mythical creature. And as always, great video! Much love!
Im a little shocked you never brought up Cerberuses in this. They’ve become pretty popular, and CF Studios just recently made an awesome Cerberus head too :0
A Chimera to be in a MLP movie, when Apple Bloom wants to prove Apple Jack that she can do things on our own by bringing Apple Pies to the nearby village, but Apple Bloom needed to go through a deep, dark forest. instead of getting the pies safely to the village, she gets into a battle with a Chimera. Apple Jack saves her, getting the pies and themselves to the town they were delivering to. 😀😀😀
EXCELLENT job on this video. I had an interest in mystical creatures since I was a little kid, and they certainly had an influence on me joining the furry fandom. Dragons, Werewolves, and Kitsune (yes you pronounced them correctly in this video) are some of my favorites.
Haha my main fursona is a supernatural creature. The demonic hell hound, considered as harbingers of death and guardians of hell which would include the lovely Cerberus in Greek mythology
I think I highly underused mythical creature is alebrijes! If you watched Coco or are of the Mexican culture you’ve probably heard of them. There spirits that guide you to the afterlife. They have colors like sparkledogs and very interesting designs, and I’ve only ever seen a handful of suits D:
I took the mythical creature known as the Thunderbird and combined it with a wolf to create my fursona, Sylvius Zebedee Mawwed the Thunderwolf. So it's double on the mythical creatures with me.
insects next? :0 You've covered 3/5 of my fursonas types in videos... and if you do insects, you'll wrap up my main (inchworm) and my pokesona (joltik) all in one, haha!
I was really hoping the Hippocampus would be mentioned! I don't know tons about their lore, but I haven't seen ANY furry characters of these. They are basically a literal seahorse, with the upper body of a horse and lower body of a fish. I'm making a character of one now and would be super excited to see more!
I always felt a strong connection to Dragons thanks for such an awesome video Stormi, You Folfi Potato.😁 And thanks for writing the script Schande, My Foxy Brother in Comedic Faith.👍😁
I actually have a character named Grey that's a sea wolf which is a mythical creature from Alaska that is part wolf part killer whale. They are said to be very kind creatures that bring luck to those whours see them.
Nice! Technically it would just be called a wererabbit, unless it actually has both a wolf form and a rabbit form. And now that I'm thinking about that, that would be interesting, a character that has seen both sides of the predator/prey situation.
I have a hellhound fursona named rainfall and I'm currently working on a second sona; an alligator gar and salmon hybrid named ally(might change her name). My original sona was a border collie based off birch beer but once i made rainfall birch, the character i was talking about, got demoted to just a character. I have a tendency to be draw to unusual characters, i usually don't like simple designs unless it's an unusual species and vice versa. For example my profile picture is of Kahari, he's the very first of my original species amogami created, he has a simple design but is an unusual species. Anyways I'm definitely making some other mythical creature characters soon!
a friend i have has a wendigo/demon wolf fursona which is absolutely awesome ;w; and my fursonas are an odd mix of a skull being, a dog, and a cat, while the other is a hellhound
Im making a periton character. They are awesome and so adorable They are deers with bird back legs and wings. They have the shadow of a human until they have killed someone. They are pretty cool :)
Wendigo here (or well Monsterwolf until horns get added), i have to add something to this. Wendigos are according to folklore not just "human eating monsters", they are acually by spirits of ancestors cursed (or possessed) humans who have commited cannibalism and are then forced to wander the woods, plagued by eternal hunger that is only temporary statisfied by killing and eating humans, which they can lure by mimic voices of people thier prey knows. Stories differ about cannibalism overall or cannibalism outside of an emergency situation as the crime to be punished by this curse. Overall it seems that the legend was made to act as an explainable taboo about cannibalism (mostly during winter as food is hard to find) and going out alone into the woods/at night.
hey, please dont actually,,, make a wendigo character. as fun as it can seem its actually really important to a lot of aboriginal cultures and shouldnt be treated as a cryptid!!
My fursona is a wolgan (a dragon wolf) although her wings are feathered. I think wolgans are also a bit rare to see in fursuits, which is why Im making a partial (wings included). TIME TO MAKE WAY FOR MYTHICALS YALL.
funfact! one of my fursonas known as Athena is actually a cat that is a werewolf, only a dragon instead of a wolf! thats right, she's a weredragon cat.
Can I correct you about gryphon or whoever wrote the script. Actually gryphons are actually half cat half bird. Most commonly lion eagle hybrids. Interesting video you made my potato friend. And also you should make one that cover gaming oriented fursona speices like us argonians, kahjits, Pokemon, Pandarans, etc.
Maybe someday! And I understand. This was a collaborative effort between myself and Schande. I apologize for the incorrect info on gryphons!

Unless Amiet (1972) depicts older gryphons. I can't find a pdf to check. Maybe that's the origin of the random uncited line drawing?

I didn't know Aliens were Supernatural! I Always thought they were Really Advanced Lifeforms from another Planet!
Aliens are not supernatural in my opinion because they're just creatures from other planets .

They are, but the are technically mythical since most people don’t believe in them
We *are* aliens. Like Silver just said.
They can be both i guess
They get skin walkers mixed with Wendigo’s. Windigo are often seen as a pale mummified person with long limbs.

Stormi! You get a subscribe for the informational video AND for the AMAZING narrator voice!!! Seriously, it's really good. Not many people can pull that off. Lol I geek out over this sort of stuff😂
I have a shapeshifter does that count as something? xD
you should do a video on quadsuits if you hvent already!!
Oml, you actually added kitsunes :0 I'm so surprised and happy too, because most people forget about kitsunes, my fursona is a kitsune but with mouths on her tails, and I wasn't expecting you to mention them since they aren't that popular, but you actually mentioned them, and that my friend, gets a like from me uwu
You should check out the "worgen" fursuits! Worgens are werewolves from wow that are pretty cool!
Gryphon s are cat and bird and hippogryphon are horse and bird
*Stormi:* “Wendigos”
*Me:* “SOMEONE SAY ‘Wendigos’???”
I'm not sure if people make this in the fandom but... HellHounds. I looked it up and usually they are either a nightmarish wolf with glowing eyes and flames coming off of them, or they are more bone than they are flesh. I have 2 fursonas that are like this. So I made my first ever fursuit fursona (Krimson Hlavka) into the skeletal type of hellhound. And the second fursona (Pendulus Hlavka) is on the flame, nightmarish, glowing side. I haven't really made the second one into a fursuit yet, but I am hoping in the future I can make him for a friend that I made the fursona for.
A werewolf transforms at a full moon. Lycan (I believe that is how it’s spelled from the Underworld fandom) is a werewolf that can transform into a wolf at any time. If it can turn into an animal at any time (one specific animal) it is Anamagi (from the Harry Potter fandom). There are also many other mythical creatures. My personal favorites are, Peryton’s and oc creatures. (I also love owl snow leopard gryphons.)
Great video! One of my anthro ocs, Mr. Pinkerton (no, his first name is _not_ Floyd) is a monster! He takes traits from kangaroo joeys, sphinx and devon rex cats, and one of my favourite lizards, a tegu!!
Also, there is a suit with two heads. Seen it on Instagram! Perytons (winged deer) are another suit I've seen a lot.
I personally like the jackalope. It's a mythical creature that i often saw used in the furry Fandom as a fursona and many people also made their rabbit fursona into a jackalope to give it a nice little feature.
I like kitsune because (even though I'm yet to own one and won't for a while) if I'm not wearing a fursuit I have a lore excuse "I'm just wearing my mask" even though I wouldn't need an excuse I just find it funny (also I have a problem of staying in character too much). like the vid and it's cool to see actual kitsune fursuits.
My sona is a mythical creature! It's the Irish myth of the Puca/Pooka. It's a trickster spirit usually seen as a horse, rabbit, dog, or goat! They can shapeshift and play tricks on humans! If you need info on mythical creatures or cryptids, just ask, as it's my main thesis in my work!
When it comes to dragons... I think there are also smart, lovable, and different elemental types like how Sisu is a water dragon or a genetically engineered hybrid of octoling and some other dragons
(The octoling dragon happens to be my SMG4 OC and a baby clone of Desti)
Stormi: there's even a whole fursuit company named after the Phoenix!
Me:........ What about Phoenix drop high?
I actually have a fursona that is a Phoenix named Soare which is Romanian for sun
Omg Aphmau Fan
Hello! I have a character that is a quetzalcoatl/ahuizotl hybrid (Quetzalcoatl being a feathered amphithere and ahuizotl being a monkey/dog thing). I haven't seen any American Mythological creatures yet, besides the wendigos, of course! But I think it would be a real treat to see more anthro characters like the thunderbird (which could be a very cool suit with LED lights), the grootslang, and the jaculus!
Mantra - Sonic ATS - I love how much of that series you use as BGM
My fursona is a Nekomatta crosses with Cheshire cat so two tails and a Magician yaya
Don't forget the large category of the Fay! Especially the púca from Irish legend, which is a very customizable character concept I think! Kind of on the same lines as chimera or shapeshifter, draconequus, choose-your-own-body-parts deal. 😅 There's alot of room for interpretation with Irish mythology.
Interesting note: The group known as Hydra actually has an octopus as the logo.
I would love to see a Krampus fursuit.
My fursona is always adding new features. The external form is set at this point, but the abilities of the average Cyberwolf Hybrid change as the whims of the individual change since they have the ability to mimic and copy any ability they see... much like the Naruto character who uses sharingon.
The first suit pic in the paranormal creatures section looks like it's based off of the animated music video series by Mystery Skulls, starting with the video called Ghost.
Third
Pkrussl big boy Oof
Hello gay!
daddy?
OwO it's acne boi
go away
Imagine if a group of friends shared a single hydra fursona.
I'm glad you mention wendigo ^^
I cannot stop thinking about your background music xD
A kelpie fursuit would be cool. It's like an evil water horse from Scotland
I knew Shande is #fabulous, but you are even more #fabulous, PotatoLord! Just out of curiosity, I wonder if a chupacabra is a mythical creature. And as always, great video! Much love!
I'm sorry, but the moment you said chimeras, I thought of Nina from FMA...
... R.I.P Nina, you will never be forgotten
Manticore is actually the face of a human, body of a lion, and tail of a scorpion
Im a little shocked you never brought up Cerberuses in this. They’ve become pretty popular, and CF Studios just recently made an awesome Cerberus head too :0
I love creepypasta fursonas!! I saw a really cool smile dog one online somewhere.
my fursona (not my icon) is an Ahool, which is a giant cryptid ape/bat like creature
A Chimera to be in a MLP movie, when Apple Bloom wants to prove Apple Jack that she can do things on our own by bringing Apple Pies to the nearby village, but Apple Bloom needed to go through a deep, dark forest. instead of getting the pies safely to the village, she gets into a battle with a Chimera. Apple Jack saves her, getting the pies and themselves to the town they were delivering to. 😀😀😀
EXCELLENT job on this video. I had an interest in mystical creatures since I was a little kid, and they certainly had an influence on me joining the furry fandom.
Dragons, Werewolves, and Kitsune (yes you pronounced them correctly in this video) are some of my favorites.
Haha my main fursona is a supernatural creature. The demonic hell hound, considered as harbingers of death and guardians of hell which would include the lovely Cerberus in Greek mythology
I think I highly underused mythical creature is alebrijes! If you watched Coco or are of the Mexican culture you’ve probably heard of them. There spirits that guide you to the afterlife. They have colors like sparkledogs and very interesting designs, and I’ve only ever seen a handful of suits D:
"Phoenix!"
Me: *Brain immediately thinks of Phoenix Wright*
"No, not that Phoenix."
I think he means as in the fire bird pheonix -.-
@@saltztr It was meant to be a sort of joke Salty, not something to be taken seriously.
@@shadedshadowmc i know. Im just saying what i thought :P
@@saltztr Ooohh. Okay. :O
I took the mythical creature known as the Thunderbird and combined it with a wolf to create my fursona, Sylvius Zebedee Mawwed the Thunderwolf. So it's double on the mythical creatures with me.
insects next? :0 You've covered 3/5 of my fursonas types in videos... and if you do insects, you'll wrap up my main (inchworm) and my pokesona (joltik) all in one, haha!
I was really hoping the Hippocampus would be mentioned! I don't know tons about their lore, but I haven't seen ANY furry characters of these. They are basically a literal seahorse, with the upper body of a horse and lower body of a fish. I'm making a character of one now and would be super excited to see more!
2 years late but beastcub madw a hippocampus suit, its beautiful and was actually designed for a customer whonuses a wheelchair
@@KysEcstacy That’s awesome! I’ll have to check it out
I always felt a strong connection to Dragons thanks for such an awesome video Stormi, You Folfi Potato.😁
And thanks for writing the script Schande, My Foxy Brother in Comedic Faith.👍😁
I actually have a character named Grey that's a sea wolf which is a mythical creature from Alaska that is part wolf part killer whale. They are said to be very kind creatures that bring luck to those whours see them.
I think you've actually inspired me to make a hydra fursona/OC - thanks!! It's a really cool idea!
8:55 one of my furry ocs is a werewolf rabbit
Nice! Technically it would just be called a wererabbit, unless it actually has both a wolf form and a rabbit form.
And now that I'm thinking about that, that would be interesting, a character that has seen both sides of the predator/prey situation.
@@TheFoxfiend Now I need to watch Wallace & Gromit Curse of the Were-Rabbit again. One of my favourite movies too!
Curse of the Were-Rabbit was alright. I wouldn't say it was so great that I need to watch it again, but it wasn't bad.
@@TheFoxfiend yeah I call her a wererabbit and she switches between the two species
@@nitrax8629 what's weird is that I didn't even know of that movie until after I made Nova lol
I have a hellhound fursona named rainfall and I'm currently working on a second sona; an alligator gar and salmon hybrid named ally(might change her name). My original sona was a border collie based off birch beer but once i made rainfall birch, the character i was talking about, got demoted to just a character. I have a tendency to be draw to unusual characters, i usually don't like simple designs unless it's an unusual species and vice versa. For example my profile picture is of Kahari, he's the very first of my original species amogami created, he has a simple design but is an unusual species. Anyways I'm definitely making some other mythical creature characters soon!
5:57 Oh look everyone, it's Toothless XD
My main fursona is a Chimera XD So glad to see them mentioned
a friend i have has a wendigo/demon wolf fursona which is absolutely awesome ;w; and my fursonas are an odd mix of a skull being, a dog, and a cat, while the other is a hellhound
Lost hi!! not to sound like. angry or anything but ur friend really shouldn’t have a wendigo sona!!
I have a Drax... (dragon-fox) She is only a sketch for now.
Im now planning on making a Hydra fursuit with Three heads as practice. Thanks!
Im making a periton character. They are awesome and so adorable
They are deers with bird back legs and wings. They have the shadow of a human until they have killed someone. They are pretty cool :)
Wendigo here (or well Monsterwolf until horns get added), i have to add something to this.
Wendigos are according to folklore not just "human eating monsters", they are acually by spirits of ancestors cursed (or possessed) humans who have commited cannibalism and are then forced to wander the woods, plagued by eternal hunger that is only temporary statisfied by killing and eating humans, which they can lure by mimic voices of people thier prey knows.
Stories differ about cannibalism overall or cannibalism outside of an emergency situation as the crime to be punished by this curse.
Overall it seems that the legend was made to act as an explainable taboo about cannibalism (mostly during winter as food is hard to find) and going out alone into the woods/at night.
hey, please dont actually,,, make a wendigo character. as fun as it can seem its actually really important to a lot of aboriginal cultures and shouldnt be treated as a cryptid!!
My fursona is a wolgan (a dragon wolf) although her wings are feathered. I think wolgans are also a bit rare to see in fursuits, which is why Im making a partial (wings included). TIME TO MAKE WAY FOR MYTHICALS YALL.
funfact! one of my fursonas known as Athena is actually a cat that is a werewolf, only a dragon instead of a wolf! thats right, she's a weredragon cat.
