Wendigo is a Triple Triad card in Final Fantasy VIII used to play the minigame and for turning into items with Quezacotl's Card Mod. Wendigo is the thirty-ninth card in the inventory and the sixth Level 4 card.

Being a Level 4 card, the card values on the Wendigo are not particularly strong, but its value placements may be useful for games that use Same and/or Plus.

Obtain[]

The Wendigo monster has a 3.5% chance to drop the card. Using the Card command on a Wendigo has a 93.7% chance to procure a Wendigo card when it succeeds.

Any AI Triple Triad player who uses Level 4 cards has a chance of using Wendigo in a play, from where the player can win it in a card match.

Card Mod[]

A Wendigo card refines into a Steel Orb with Quezacotl's Card Mod ability, which in turn becomes Demi with Diablos's Time and Space Magic Refiner. Though the player can draw the spell from Diablos itself, it tends to work better to get it after the boss battle from item with the refiner ability as Demi as a high level spell can be tough to draw. Another card the player can farm for Demi is Gesper for its Black Hole. Two Steel Orbs are also needed to make Selphie's Morning Star weapon.
