A monster with telepathy can communicate mentally with any creatures within the listed radius, as long as they share a language. This doesn't give any special access to their thoughts, and communicates no more information than normal speech would.
Heatsight 60 feet (primal)Heatsight is a precise sense that sees heat signatures.
+1 Status to All Saves vs. MagicRegeneration 30 (Deactivated by Cold Iron)This monster regains the listed number of Hit Points each round at the beginning of its turn. Its Dying condition never increases beyond Dying 3 as long as its regeneration is active. However, if it takes damage of a type listed in the regeneration entry, its regeneration deactivates until the end of its next turn. Deactivate the regeneration before applying any damage of a listed type, since that damage might kill the monster by bringing it to Dying 4.
Dream HauntingA target that fails its save against the wendigo's Nightmare is exposed to wendigo torment.
Howl
(auditory, concentrate, fear, incapacitation, mental, primal)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.
Ride the Wind
(air, concentrate, primal)Trigger The wendigo casts Migration 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.
Wendigo Torment (curse, mental, primal)A creature affected by wendigo torment can't recover beyond stage 1 until it has been restored to full HP.
Saving Throw DC 38 will
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 Migration 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-rank Resurrect ritual can return the victim to life. The new wendigo remains even if the victim is resurrected.
GrabRequirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or the monster has a creature Grabbed or Restrained
Effect If used after a Strike, the monster attempts to [/act grapple] the creature using the body part it attacked with. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the creature's multiple attack penalty.
The monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.
