So, for the transparent body, are we giving it a flat Spot DC, or one modified by distance like the original text?
I'm thinking we should modify this...
Natural Invisibility (Su): This ability is constant, allowing a stalker to remain invisible even when attacking. This ability is inherent and not subject to the invisibility purge spell.
Something like this, perhaps?
Transparent Body (Su): Due to its transparent body, a windigo is nearly invisible. At distances greater than 50 feet, a windigo is completely invisible. Within 50 feet, treat the windigo as invisible, except Spot checks to notice its presence, target it, or pinpoint its location are made with a +2 circumstance bonus. A windigo within 50 feet gains concealment (rather than total concealment). This ability is constant, allowing a windigo to remain nearly invisible even when attacking. This ability is inherent and not subject to the invisibility purge spell.

Dungeon 77 said:Due to its transparent body, a windigo is 95% invisible whle standing still and 50% invisible while moving. At distances greater than fifty feet a windigo is completely invisible. It uses this power as well as its ghostly silence to stalk prey.
SRD said:A creature can generally notice the presence of an active invisible creature within 30 feet with a DC 20 Spot check. The observer gains a hunch that “something’s there” but can’t see it or target it accurately with an attack. A creature who is holding still is very hard to notice (DC 30). An inanimate object, an unliving creature holding still, or a completely immobile creature is even harder to spot (DC 40). It’s practically impossible (+20 DC) to pinpoint an invisible creature’s location with a Spot check, and even if a character succeeds on such a check, the invisible creature still benefits from total concealment (50% miss chance).
