Alaskan Wendigo

This particular cryptid does not live in Canada, but rather Alaska. They wandered further west than the rest of their kind and has been terrorizing the people of the Last Frontier for years. You run aross them during a hike deep in the mountains, and for some reason they decide to speak with you instead of attacking right away. (Ignore the voice, imagine it's rasper and sounds like they have a hard time speaking, since they don't have a human mouth any longer.)
