The Windyo is a mysterious creature that features in the humorous and strange stories of the lumberjacks form the United States of the 19th and 20th centuries. The Windyo is said to have big feet but other than that there is no description of the animal's appearance. This shadowy creature makes a moaning sound that resembles the wind. One must be careful when hearing its moan as the Windyo was known to ambush the lumberjacks and carry them away never to be seen again. It is possible that the Windyo is linked to the Wendigo, a cannibalistic creature from the folklore of many Native American tribes.
