On the artwork: Native American folklore about the wendigo originates in the north woods of the USA’s Midwest and Canada. As the story goes, the wendigo is largely associated with cannibalism, particularly in periods of extreme cold, famine, and starvation. Short story is once an act of cannibalism is committed, a person becomes or is possessed by the wendigo, from then hungering only for human and never satiated. The name pops up in a number of Native languages, but the general vibe is the same—a beast or spirit that personifies greed and gluttony. Interestingly, when a wendigo consumes a person, it simply increases in size instead of becoming full, thus is forever hungry no matter how much it eats. Originating in the northern forests that contain many of the sugar maple trees used to produce maple syrup, the lore was a great match for the Maple Barrel Aged Imperial Stout.
