Wendigo are great hairy big-footed brutes that can be found in almost every act of the game. They attack with a vicious backhanded slap and a double-fisted overhead crushing blow, and have a fast enough attack rate to create difficulties for unprepared characters.
Wendigo have a unique feature involving their speed. The more damage they take, the faster they move. Depending on how low their hit points get, their speed can increase as much as twice the normal amount.
There are no Guest Monsters of Wendigo. The Abominables found in Act Five are a different type of monster, not an upgraded Wendigo with a white coat of paint.
- All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.

Statistics
- The TC/Rune drops listed are the highest Treasure Class/Rune Group a normal monster of that type can drop.
- Champions and Bosses can sometimes drop from the next higher TC.
- The max TC/Rune possible depends on which level a monster spawns in, and can vary slightly from the listed values (monsters that spawn in later levels can drop higher level items). See the item calculators to ascertain precisely what a monster from a given area can drop.
