Bloodied. When the Wendigo’s hit points are reduced to half or fewer (65 HP) it becomes bloodied. Its Strength increases to 22. It gets access to Legendar Actions and regains its Legendary Resistance, if it has already used it.

Legendary Resistance (1/Day). If the Wendigo fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Natural Hunter. The Wendigo has advantage on Stealth checks made while it is hunting.

Actions

Multiattack. The Wendigo makes one claw and one bite attack.

Claw. +7 to hit (+9 when bloodied), reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (1d12 + 4) slashing damage; 13 (1d12 + 6) slashing damage when bloodied.

Bite. +7 to hit (+9 when bloodied), reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage; 15 (2d8 + 6) piercing damage when bloodied.

If a target is bitten, it must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. It takes 10 (3d6) necrotic damage on a failure, or half as much on a success.

Legendary Actions (bloodied only)

The Wendigo can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time, and only at the end of another creature’s turn. The Wendigo regains all spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Move (costs one point). The Wendigo moves up to its speed.

Bite (costs two points). The Wendigo makes a bite attack.

Shriek (costs three points). The Wendigo screams. Each creature that can hear it within a 30 ft. radius must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature becomes stunned for one minute. The creature can remake the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. If a creature succeeds on the save, it is immune to the Wendigo’s shriek for the next hour.
