Wendigo - Forest Creature

Wendigo is a fully animated low poly humanoid creature inspired by dark folklore and twisted forest spirits.

Built with a stylised, game ready approach, this character combines an exaggerated silhouette with bold, readable animations designed to feel impactful and fun to play with.

Part mythical Wendigo and part living tree monster, its skull head, glowing eyes, and organic wooden form give it a distinctive look, while the exaggerated movements and attacks make it well suited for action driven horror and survival gameplay. It works as both a player character or enemy, reading clearly in motion and at different camera distances.
