Hello! I have been playing Evolve for the past... gosh, two years or so now? And I have evolved the Polar races a couple times, and I gotta say, the use of "W*ndigo" kinda bothers me. I live in North America, and though I am not of indigenous descent, it is my understanding that entities bearing this name are not to be discussed; I have been taught that even saying their name can attract their attention, and should be avoided.

I am not a superstitious person, and do not believe these creatures exist or that saying their name will actually cause harm. But I think it's still proper to respect the traditions from which it originates.

A friend of mine suggested reskinning them to Wights. I've kept everything basically the same, but for anyone who might be searching for this in the future, this is what I am using in a string pack:
(Planet names are from Skyrim because I needed names and Skyrim has wights lmao.)
