Wendigo is an enemy in Final Fantasy VIII. It is a headless, ape-like monster that attacks swiftly with basketball-like moves. Wendigos appear in forests around Timber area and atop plateaus in Galbadia (accessible only on Ragnarok). They are most common in the barren areas near Deling City where one may encounter up to two of them at once.

They have the rare Steel Pipe item to mug, needed to acquire the Guardian Force Doomtrain.

Stats

Battle

Wendigos use only physical attacks, some of which are quite powerful and can hurt the entire party at once.

Strategy

Because they only use physical attacks, blinding them helps, and they are also susceptible to Sleep. The player can draw-cast Protect to cut the damage taken from its attacks to half.
