Elgb's "Happy Hallow's Eve" EDGES!!!

Bite: I have to give this one to the fangs. Biting with your teeth is painful, but they were designed more to chew and grind food that kill. Fangs can puncture deeper and create more damage, and the skinwalker is packing 42 fangs than the Wendigo's measly 32 set of teeth. EDGE: Skinwalker

Grasp: Again, I'm giving the edge to the Skinwalker. A wendigo is a monster, but it still has some of its human bilogy and taht would include its hands. A swipe from a bear is more powerful than a slap from a hand, and a skinwalker's swipe is just as powerful as a bear. EDGE: Skinwalker

Other: While a skinwalker's half-human anatomy is less powerful ina fight, it does have its perks which includes being able to hold and use weapons. A skinwalker's enhanced senses are useful as well in stalking or keeping track of his prey, but it is less lethal than an actual weapon like a wendigo's tomahawk. EDGE: Wendigo

Powers: Vocal mimicry can be used to lure or scare off prey, but against an opponent that isn't scared to fight back it will be utterly useless. A snowstorm is more useful since it can create blizard to throw off the skinwalker off his game, reduce its fighting capability, and obscure its vision. EDGE: Wendigo

Deadliest Warrior?

In a battle between two of Native America's greatest and scariest of legendary monsters, I have to give this one to the skinwalker. There's just a big difference between a being that is half-human and half-beast, and a being that is an actual beast. A wendigo is still basically human while the skinwalekr has taken a form of an actual beast. Having human anatomy is useful and all but we're a fragile species comapred to a wolf or a frigging bear, and I don't see a half-human wendigo being able to take down a supernaturally enhanced bear. Intelligence is something that a wendigo has, but it's still a bloodthirty monster who's more sociopathically prone to attacking head one than use strategy. It's smart enough to use a blizzard for stealth, but a skinwalker can do so as well so that's not that unique.

Besides anatomy, the Skinwalekr seems to take all the edge in weapons. It has the better set of jaws to bit down on an opponent, and it has the better set of claws to swipe and rip through flesh. The biggest advantage that a wendigo has is its ability to summon a blizzard to obscure its opponent's vision, but it will be useless since the wendigo has enhanced senses to detect and track his opponent. So in the end, for me the shapeshifter beats the cursed cannibal.
