Wendigo

The wendigo typically has the appearance of a large monstrous humanoid. They are evil, greedy and hunger for human flesh. They can possess humans, influencing the behaviour of the host to further their own primal desires. They are linked with canibalism and famine. When they eat humans, they will grow in size, to the degree that the meal doesn't sate their hunger. They are more active in the winter where food is more scarce. While their size is often several times larger than that of a human, they are often slender or outright famished, with skin stretched thin or ruptured by protruding bones. Some versions portray the wendigo as a cross between a human and a stag. A large lumbering beast with exposed bones, especially the legs, ribs and even the skull.

Source
The wendigo originates from folklore in the north eastern reaches of the North American continent. Early mentions include The Jesuit Relations.
