Since working on someone else's demon alias, I thought it would be awesome to have a demon alternate version of my fursona and use it as an alias for electronic punk rock. My fursona(18+ she's nekkid) is a reindeer, and I found a wendigo to be a possibility, even though a wendigo can take on many forms, but I won't do much to it but make the legs more unguligrade, give it a demon tail, wings (not sure to go with bat or raven), and change the color scheme. In fact, I've even already made subtle jokes at the irony that venison meat is one of my favorites, making me an adorable cannibal, and wendigos are synonymous with cannibalism.
I also began to consider an angel alternate version to sate my conflicting desire to give my fursona little bird wings, and found that a peryton would be more than perfect for the part. I'll make the color scheme even more pastel, more soft pink and soft blue, some ribbons and bells, and woolier fur.
But here's where my problems come in: The deer wendigo is a thing because of the 2001 movie Wendigo and the series Hannibal, of both I know nothing of (and I don't plan to watch either it because I think it will probably fuck me up). I'm not sure if it would be a very good thing to go along with- it's a principle of a thing, I guess. And where will my alternate versions come from? From an otherworldly portal? Do they even exist on a physical plane? Are they psychological projections? Are they the corny, cliched good and bad that sit on my shoulder? Do I transform into them? Should I keep their very existence and point of origin a complete mystery?

Honestly I think you should do what you think feels right, you can make up whatever you want. Its not like you have to follow existing lore of wendigo. You could keep it a mystery of you wanted to or you could make some cool back story, both are interesting.
Also I think that pertons are pretty cool looking in my opinion but thats because I think wings look super cool.
You could also make something up yourself, like a mix between the two of them, I think that could be pretty cool.
I also may be looking at this wrong and look stupid but I tried.

I think a wendigo would be really nifty, but idk about full on bat wings. Maybe thin flaps of skin between the arms (kinda like a flying squirrel) might appeal more to the monster side. As for where they should come from well SHRUGS? I think maybe an interesting concept to go with would maybe be like the wendigo could come out of shadows? Like it could become physical once it crosses from the other side. Maybe for a time it can only exist in shadows of things. It would be good to use because well think about it, since wendigos are long and thin by nature it would project well as a shadow (since shadows can also be long and thin). HAHA IDK just kinda brainstorming also yea Hannibal is kind of hard to get through if you can't handle excess amounts of gore and body horror. I had to stop before I could get to the end of season 1 : ((
