| − | '''Wendigo''' are a monster found in ''[[Diablo II]]''. These large ape-like creatures are often found roaming through the wilderness. Their habitat ranges from the woodlands of the [[Western Kingdoms]], the deserts of [[Aranoch]], and their relatives, the [[Abominable]]s live in the icy caves of the Barbarian Highlands near [[Mount Arreat]]. One can sense their approach by listening for their howls. Easily towering over the average human, they attack by smashing their large fists over their heads. Their large size is misleading as they are quite agile and move with great speed. They can be fairly deadly in large groups though individually, they are generally weak since they wear little to no armor and players can dispatch them normally in 2-4 blows. |

| + | ==In-game== |
||
| − | *'''Gargantuan Beasts''' are the first type of Wendigo that can be encountered in the first act of Diablo II, in the [[Den of Evil]] and in the [[Cold Plains]]. While not as common as most other foes, they are easily-noticed by their giant size and occasional grunting. |
||
| − | *'''Brutes''' are the second type of Wendigo encountered and are more commonly found in the latter stages of Act 1, most notably in the [[Dark Wood]], in the [[Black Marsh]] and in [[the Pit]]. While Brutes are slightly more powerful than Gargantuan Beasts and faster, they are overall, the same save for their darker appearance of yellow and dark brown. |
||
| − | *'''Yetis''' are found within the later parts of Act I in the [[Outer Cloister]]. They prefer to attack you in packs. Do not mistake them as a easily dispatched target as they have much more health and do more damage than their weaker counterparts. |
||
| − | *'''Crushers''' are the fourth variant of Wendigo. They are found in the [[Canyon of the Magi]] in the last portion of Act II. They are not much of a threat even though they have high HP and travel in packs. |
||
| − | *'''Wailing Beasts''' are the strongest variant of Wendigo. They are found in the [[Ruined Temple]], [[Disused Fane]] and [[Forgotten Reliquary]], in Act III. |
||
| + | Wendigo can be fairly deadly in large groups though individually, they are generally weak since they wear little to no armor and players can dispatch them normally in 2-4 blows. |
||
| − | All Wendigo variants are immune to [[Cold]], except the Wailing Beast which is immune to Magic. |

Revision as of 13:49, 2 August 2019
Wendigos, known as the Men of the Wild by the Priests of Rathma,[1] are a type of monster found in Diablo II.
Lore
Wendigos are a family of huge bipedal ape-like creatures that make their lairs in mountains.[2] They have a thick brow ridge and a flat nose akin to the primates of Kehjistan.[1] Large but agile, these creatures are most often found in the wilderness, but are also reported to occupy the caves and dungeons of the Western Kingdoms.[3] They are hunted for their pelts, which are highly prized by the wealthy.[1]
History
Previously, Wendigos and their sub-species existed peacefully with humans, avoiding contact whenever possible.[3] Chaos' ill effects changed them,[3] and they entered a state of perpetual frenzy.[4] Now, they are quick to anger and attack with huge, sweeping blows of their massive claws. Once provoked, they do not relent until their opponent is slain or they themselves have fallen. Few live to tell the tale of an angered Wendigo, but those that have exclaim how nothing is more terrifying than the sound of these angry creatures bearing down on the attack.[3]
In-game
Wendigo can be fairly deadly in large groups though individually, they are generally weak since they wear little to no armor and players can dispatch them normally in 2-4 blows.
All Wendigo variants are immune to Cold, except the Wailing Beast which is immune to magic.
