@Perenti - Ithaqua (created by August Derleth, a member of the original Lovecraft Circle (as the people Lovecraft regularly traded correspondance with are known)) was based on the idea of the wendigo, with a heavy, heavy, heavy dose of poetic license. KC's wendigo calls back moreso to the Algonquin myth than Ithaqua, though, with the sorta-kinda possession and the sorta-kinda turning men (even if temporary) into something that's probably akin to pre-Demon Lord wendigo.

@Astrumratio - The Chaos Demons are different, yes. They're worse. Even more monstrous; powerful; terrifying; what-have-you. But they're still monsters.
