Upon concentrating on someone's injury for a extended period of time, The Wendigo can force himself into a feeding frenzy in a moment of desperation, undergoing a transformation into a beast of terrifying origin. The cracking of bones and the stretching of skin as dark black fur grows and covers the head. His legs snapping into a more animalistic style, his skin on his skull seemingly vanishing as the bone forms into a nightmarish representation of a deer skull.
Nobody likes the sound of bones snapping, let alone watching such a thing happen. Watching someone be forced to contort in painful and unusual ways as their bones rearrange is something no man should see.
