The Donner Party and the crew of the Essex, for some fun real-life examples.

Literally any iteration of "incestuous mutant hill people" in modern horror tropes (ie The Hills Have Eyes, or the Melonhead urban legends in Connecticut).

Not to mention there are plenty of fun modern folklore monsters without going exactly that route too, like the Jersey Devil or Goatman's Bridge or Mothman.

Nothing is forcing you to HAVE to steal the wendigo (and strip it of its actual context and meaning in doing so, like every single white person who's done it already has). Be original, maybe.

nayrt but I don't think those are the same thing at all. The wendigo isn't just some scary campfire monster, and it's definitely not the equivalent of "incestuous mutant hill people". Also, I think if OP is attracted to the concept of the wendigo in particular, just substituting some random cryptid isn't going to be the same. It's like telling someone that instead of writing about vampires, they should write about zombies instead because they're basically the same thing when they're definitely not.
