描述 (Description)

Ithaqua manifests as a towering, gargantuan entity of vaguely humanoid proportions. It is rarely seen clearly, as its physical form is inextricably bound to the atmospheric disturbances of the frozen north. Observers consistently report:

• Visual Signatures: Piercing, luminescent crimson eyes that appear as twin embers amidst the howling whiteout of an Arctic blizzard.
• Locomotion: Extremely rapid displacement; the entity appears to “walk” upon the wind itself, rendering traditional pursuit impossible.
• The Wendigo Link: Extensive cross-referencing of indigenous folklore suggests that Ithaqua is the primary catalyst—or progenitor—of the Wendigo mythos.

“To see him is not to fear for your life, but to fear for the cold that will soon reside within your marrow. He does not hunt; he merely gathers.” — Recovered field notes from the Boreal Expedition, 1924.

行为逻辑 (Behavioral Logic)

The entity operates under strict predatory cycles linked to thermal gradients. When Ithaqua is active, the following protocols apply:

1. Environmental Manifestation: Ithaqua enforces a localized drop in ambient temperature. Any sudden, unnatural shift in pressure within a 50-meter radius is an indicator of immediate proximity.
2. Abduction Pattern: Victims are often snatched directly into the upper atmosphere. Recovery teams rarely find remains intact; evidence points to victims being dropped from extreme altitudes, typically discovered frozen solid with bilateral amputation of the feet.
3. Reality Anchoring: As a Great Old One, Ithaqua defies standard thermodynamic laws. Attempting to track the entity using heat-signature sensors will result in equipment failure due to “thermal void” phenomenon.

现代异常收容改编 (Modern Anomaly Adaptation)

In the current epoch of anomalous research, containment is not a matter of physical barriers, but of Information Suppression.

• Protocol “Frozen Veil”: If a localized blizzard reports anomalous thermal readings incongruent with meteorological data, all civilian satellite feeds of the region are to be scrubbed.
• Researcher Note: Current files on Ithaqua remain incomplete. We are observing a spike in “missing persons” reports near the Arctic Circle that do not align with natural avalanche patterns.

Status: Open for further documentation. Field researchers stationed in Sub-Arctic research outposts are urged to submit any updated sightings immediately.
