Honestly, it's extremly hard to definite an appearance for a wendigo.

The deer skull? It's all bullshit, look closely to the description you will find on the web(even if it's not the best source), they never mention it, the wendigo is mostly a human figure extremly skinny and sometimes with beast features, but most of the artist represent it with deer horn to the point most of people think it's in the original myth.

Also sometime the wendigo is described as hairy creature, sometime a giant, sometime only appearing in dream, sometime under a human appearance.

So now what's about the MGE wendigo and your suggestion?

First the wendigo have been humanized, sexualized, and by the way the skinny part is forgotten, they have red eyes just like in the original myth (I have no idea why they should have blue eyes), also he give them horn that didn't really match deer horn, a tail and hooves for the beast features of the wendigo, but once again, the wendigo description are very fuzzy in the original myth, so the horn, hooves and tail were probably KC personal preference.

Wendigo are sometime hairy : KC give them a coat they can take off at will.

Wendigo are sometime giant : in the MGE a married wendigo can mostly look like a giant figure.

When I discorved the MGE wendigo I was extremly dissapointed, but in fact KC really succeeded to integrate all the different aspect of the wendigo, even if the starving/heart of ice parts are missing, he really did a good job in this one.

Also a wendigo can wear a deer skull one her head if she feel like it, and they are obviously are nyctalope.
