I actually have more to add to the Berserker story, because I had to go to work, so I left it there. At some point in the near future, I'll be adding more, which will tie into the Berserker lore already founded, with some additional history created that ties into the overall supernatural world I'm developing.

I actually read into Wendigo lore quite a bit, and Wendigos is the plural in the english language (it's weird that mythical creatures have different plurals in different languages), although Wendigowak sounds awesome. I ended up changing how Wendigos come to exist, because I couldn't think of a way too explain why real world cannibals haven't turned into Wendigos, so I might the cannibalism the symptom, not the disease. And I chose not to go with the whole growing-as-they-eat thing, because I like the idea of ravenous devouring beasts, and they would get pretty big and  pretty fast, and that would be pretty hard to hide from humans, but the always hungry for more aspect stuck. As for the Curse of the Wendigo, I'll check it out sometime, sounds like it'd be an interesting read.

I don't watch non-english films, because I can't speak another language fluently, and I hate reading subtitles. But given that the basic premise of the Jaguar Universe revolves around the South American folklore of Naguals, there was bound to be similar stories that had already been created. There are a bunch of other influences as well, of course, from both mythology and pop culture, and hopefully the combination of elements I've put together work out well
