Starving Wendigo
Level 28 Boss · The Scar
In Desperados Destiny, Starving Wendigo is a level 28 boss — a late-game threat for a well-equipped character.
Field notes
It was a survey party once — eleven men who went into The Scar in a hard winter and one shape that came out of it. Too tall now, and wrong at the joints, and it will not stop being hungry because the hunger is the only part of them that is left. It calls in the voices of the other ten to bring you closer.
What you are walking into
Starving Wendigo is level 28, carries 462 health, and is classed Scourge Lord, a boss encounter. That makes it a late-game threat for a well-equipped character. It leans on pressure, degrading your draws before a card is turned; steady hands matter more than big ones. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Starving Wendigo plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Starving Wendigo
Starving Wendigo is encountered at The Scar. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for The Scar covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 2150 experience and between $640 and $1010. Its loot table can yield Wendigo Bone, Cursed Iron, Iron Hide Pelt and Ancient Artifacts. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
