Hey local Native card nerd here.

First off, love this design, this monster looks cool af.

But, please don't call this a windigo. It's not. Windigo don't have horns, they don't look like monsters. They've been bastardized by Hollywood and media to the point where Windigo just means monster, and it's just further erasure of our culture. Ithaqua as a cosmic horror with no official form or cultural basis is fine, but it doesn't have to placate to native steryotypes by also being called a windigo.

Love the design as a monster and hope you have the ability to make a full deck of cool monster designs, just asking not to incorrectly use my culture as a part of it. Do what thou wilt, I'm simply asking.

Tf kind of point is this? If you really want to fuck this monster... go ahead? idgaf. Just don't call it a windigo.

If you want to fuck a real windigo, take a long walk into the woods and don't come back till you find one.

Don't worry the card name on the actual product is Ithaqua only. I was commissioned to make a Lovecraftian deck but I didn't have a lot of knowledge about all of his work. Google was showing Wendig next to its name so I wrote it thinking people would probably be more familiar with that and not Ithaqua.
