Wendigo

From Charmed

You may be looking for the episode titled "The Wendigo"...

The Wendigo first originated a long time ago, when a man fell deeply in love with a woman who betrayed him, so in his rage he cut out her heart and ate it, causing his own heart to turn into ice, thus making him the first wendigo ever. The Wendigo hunts three nights every month when the moon is full, surviving by devouring the hearts of its victims, however, should a victim be bitten or slashed, he/she would be transformed into a Wendigo as well. A Wendigo only assumes its true form when the moon is full, on other days it is human, with its full mental facilities and is completely unaware of his/her condition. Beware a Wendigo when the moon is full, for its hunger is insatiable and it will surely seek out a victim.

[edit] The Wendigo

The Wendigo is a non-dead creature

that roams the earth destroying the good-

hearted and those in love. His fate

is to wander the Earth feasting on

human hearts.

The first Wendigo was a mortal who

was betrayed by his sweetheart.

In revenge for the treachery, he slew his

love and ate her heart. Rather than

savour the warmth of revenge, his heart

was in turn, turned to ice.

During daylight hours and the phases

of the moon, the Wendigo looks as you

or I.

Beware the Wendigo on the three

days of the full moon when his strength

and appetite are greatest.

Beware being attacked and injured.

He duplicates himself by slashing, but

not killing his prey.

[edit] Unbecoming the Wendigo

Destroy the Wendigo by melting

his heart of ice. Fire is the key

Show no mercy, he will show

none to you. If a person has

been injured but not slain by the

Wendigo, said person will only

be made whole by the complete

destruction of the Wendigo.
