"Cannibalistic Shapeshifter"
Wendigos are historically associated with cannibalism, murder, insatiable greed, and the cultural taboos against such behaviours.
In Teen Wolf:
Wendigo are mostly human in appearance with a change in eye color and teeth configuration, the only difference during a shift. Derek describes them as "cannibalistic shapeshifters" and says they've not been seen in Beacon Hills for a long time. The Wendigo family kept dozens of human bodies in a freezer hidden inside their home, presumably for food.
Bestiary entry:
These vicious supernatural creatures were an unwelcome discovery among the native people of the new world. They are known to have an uncontrollable appetite for human flesh which leads them to kill despite any better judgment they might processes.Sneaky creatures, Wendigos can maintain a human appearance while hiding multiple fanged teeth (similar to Kanimas) behind their lips. However, when in their true form, Wendigos' eyes shimmer with a white glow.
