Best creature for the Wendigo template?

[Altamont Ravenard]

Wendigo Frost Worm.

You have Frostburn?
How about a Wendigo Neanderthal or a Wendigo Frost Man. Slap on some levels of Druid or Barbarian (or hell, Ranger) and you're done.

 

[Mystery Man]

It's one of those templates that has appeared in all kinds of books. One of those official monster books has it; I think FF, although it might be MM2, I believe as well. There's a steroided version of the template in the Epic Level Handbook too, and Tome & Blood is the original printing of it.

I have the ELH and read through that again. That will shred them in 2 rounds at this level but you better believe that's getting shelved until later. Should come around for the next time I need to scare the living @#$% out of them. I'm thinking deeper darkness, wet and closed in. Ah, terror.

A hag, of course. Black Annis (CR6), to be specific.

Why?

Say no more. Done and maybe with 7 or 8 levels of druid. I'll be hosting 6 very good players this weekend.
