Rich Haugen mechanized the Wendigo's head and neck, which were positioned above and forward of the performer's head and mounted to a backpack rig. To demonstrate, Shane Mahan raised his hand above his head, motioning like a dinosaur's neck. "The neck was on a telemetry device and the whole head moved independently." Operators would then control the head, neck and hands remotely. He says, "It was really quite graceful as a puppet but that took a while to figure out." Mahan says that the eyeless Wendigo was an element that came late. "We had lots of options with eyes. It all kept feeling kind of standard until I think [Scott] Cooper or Guillermo said, 'it's just like a skull with no eyes at all. It just senses where you are.'"
