Ok, but I've literally never seen this actually said, so I want to point it out. Until Dawn is the only piece of media I've ever encountered that has wendigos that look like wendigos. Like old, traditional ones. Original legends tend to describe them as being very thin, deteriorating, pale humans. Sometime I don't know when, around when Hollywood got ahold of them, they started getting mixed up with other monsters. The early internet horror didn't help, with all the skinwalker stuff that was going around, and eventually, we were left with the big, hairy thing with the deer skull for a head as a wendigos in most things and depictions(ex pet semetery) and some just weird ones like Ravenous, where they look like normal humans. Until Dawn is the only thing I've ever seen make them look right
