  name: Dream Haunting
  traits: null
- description: '**Frequency** Three times per day; **Effect** The wendigo unleashes
    a forlorn howl that can be heard up to 1 mile away. Any creature that hears the
    howl must succeed at a DC 38 Will save or be frightened 1. Any creature that critically
    fails and is within 120 feet of the wendigo is instead frightened 3, and is also
    fleeing for 1d4 rounds (or until it''s no longer frightened, whichever comes first).
    A creature frightened by a wendigo''s howl still naturally recovers from its fright
    but can''t reduce it below frightened 1 in this way until 1 hour has passed or
    magic is used. Whether it succeeds or fails its save, a creature is then temporarily
    immune to that wendigo''s Howl for 24 hours.'
  name: Howl
  traits:
  - auditory
  - concentrate
  - enchantment
  - fear
  - incapacitation
  - mental
  - primal
- description: '**Trigger** The wendigo casts *wind walk* while it has Grabbed a foe.
    **Effect** The wendigo attempts to turn the grabbed creature into wind and carry
    it along as part of the action. If the target succeeds at a DC 38 Will save, it
    prevents itself from being transformed; in this case, the wendigo still transforms,
    automatically releasing the victim. A creature forced to Ride the Wind along with
    the wendigo is exposed to wendigo torment. The target can attempt a new Will save
    each round to return to normal, though it immediately becomes corporeal and begins
    falling if it succeeds.'
  name: Ride the Wind
  traits:
  - air
  - concentrate
  - primal
  - transmutation
- description: A creature affected by wendigo torment can't recover beyond stage 1
    until it has been restored to full HP. **Saving Throw** Will DC 38; **Stage 1**
    Stupefied 4 (1 day); **Stage 2** As stage 1 (1 day); **Stage 3** The creature
    searches for an individual of its own ancestry to kill and devour. It then becomes
    affected by *wind walk* and sprints into the sky so fast that its feet burn away
    into jagged stumps. As the creature wind walks into the sky, it is replaced by
    a new wendigo over 2d6 minutes. Wish, similar magic, or a 9th-level resurrect
    ritual can return the victim to life. The new wendigo remains even if the victim
    is resurrected.
