Just remembered something. The Windigos. They were ice spirit things that fed on negative emotions and makd things cold. Almost ice age levels.

I think I just found the most brilliant comparison to Grimm. They were also on native american origin, and were associated with cannibalism. People that partake of human flesh have risk of being taken over by the windigo. It's also associated with famine.

They are creatures of excess and greed. never satisfied with killing and consuming one person, and always wanting more.

there is also a dissease called wendigo psychosis, which gives the victim an uncontrollable and insatiable hunger for human flesh. Those are wEndigos.

These are wIndigis. Because they are wind spirits. They are more like a pun than the actual thing. Beowolves aren't related to Beowolf, are they. It's just a clever name.
