I'm not sure. Like I said, this creature only really resembled humanoid features on the face and hands. I do know that it was once human. I feel a wendigo would have attacked, had I encountered it.

I assure you, you would run away in fear. I didn't give the creature justice while describing it.

I meant to say car when it corrected to cat. I would like to mention I didn't notice, because I was too caught up in memory.

As i have found out, that single word it said was cherokee for leave.

I believe that it told me to leave because it was once human. As I said, I think that is why people are going missing. They're being turned into those things.
