The Wendigo is a mythical creature appearing in the mythology of the Algonquian people. It is a malevolent cannibalistic spirit into which humans could transform.
and:
They were strongly associated with the Winter, the North, and coldness, as well as with famine and starvation.
and:
They were constantly searching for new victims. In some traditions, humans who became overpowered by greed could turn into Wendigos.
and:
Whenever a Wendigo ate another person, it would grow larger, in proportion to the meal it had just eaten, so that it could never be full.[10] Wendigos were therefore simultaneously constantly gorging themselves and emaciated from starvation.
I think Dean may be too scary for children, and loveable monsters and me. Dust Mothers indeed. Dust bunnies are scary enough. Except the rhymning ones.
WARNING LITTLE CHILDREN: Here is something that you may be scared of. If so, don't be greedy, and sleep with a 'Dirt Devil' by your bedside to vacceum the Dust Mother when she comes. Follow everything said, and you will live to see another day. *runs to bed and covers head with blackets* Nightmares tonight!
