West Wood Jerry the Wendigo

The night hunter in West Wood is called Jerry by the community and officially the Wendigo in fan-wiki documentation. He is the creature that patrols between the town’s roughly fifteen enterable structures once the in-game day turns. There is no first-party damage formula published by the developers — every number below is documented from community wikis (west-wood-remake.fandom.com and unofficial-west-wood-remake.fandom.com), the A_L Studios Discord, and badge descriptions verified against the official Roblox Games API. Treat the exact values as reproducible but subject to change with each Post-Release Patch.

Identity and naming

West Wood Group’s own descriptions do not assign the creature a single in-fiction name; the developer team uses imagery drawn from the Wendigo mythology of the Canadian wilderness. Community wikis settled on Jerry because the creature model resembles the inside joke character. Fan wikis therefore list both names — search either to find local creature pages.

The badge set reinforces this identity. Killed by the Beast is the official death description, while the same creature appears as Use the Flamethrower on the Beast. Jerry is not a developer-confirmed label; it is a community nickname attached to a behaviourally consistent antagonist across both the original West Wood place and the West Wood: Remake place.

Damage profile

Community wikis publish a consistent damage band:

• Standard melee attack: 25–30 damage.
• Blood Moon form: 40–50 damage.
• Window throw special: damage plus relocation outside the structure.

The standard attack and the Blood Moon number were captured by multiple independent testers on the original West Wood place. The Remake has not published a full encounter table yet, so the same numbers remain the most cited reference point until badge re-rolls or AI tweaks invalidate them. Health and stamina bars are visible to the player, but the player’s health bar visually ticks down after each confirmed hit.

Window grab special

The Wendigo’s most-cited counter to a careful hide is the window grab. If a player stands too close to a window — front, side, or rear, depending on the building — the creature can extend through the glass, grab the avatar, and relocate the player outside the structure. This is what makes “don’t camp near windows” a non-negotiable rule.

Survivors mitigate by:

• Standing in interior rooms without exterior glass behind them.
• Keeping distance from window lines and using the centre of a room as a safe listening post.
• Closing curtains when the building model supports them — the original place lets some structures close blinds; Remake parity is unconfirmed.

What the badges actually confirm

Roblox’s badge API for the Remake universe lists three creature-related conditions on August 27, 2026 UTC:

1. Use the Flamethrower on the Beast — confirms a flamethrower item exists, can be aimed at the creature, and the badge tracks a successful burn.
2. Killed by the Beast — confirms the creature can kill a player, which is required for the badge to award.
3. Killed by the Cursed Amulet — confirms a separate cursed-amulet mechanic exists; the badge is on the same family of death triggers.

These badges do not confirm damage numbers, slam cooldowns, body-part collision rules, sprint-safe distances, or stun windows. They only prove that an interaction is possible.

Senses and stealth

Community trackers and the Beast page on west-wood-remake.fandom.com describe the creature as:

• Active only during night-time cycles (full visibility to night-only).
• Highly sensitive to noise — moving, sprinting, opening doors, dropping items, and lighting flares pull the creature’s path toward your position.
• Capable of finding a player in a structure even when doors are closed, lights are off, and the player is silent — described as the “Wendigo always knows you are in a house” rule by veteran testers.

The wiki also notes that the creature does not always respect the same stealth rules; the AI variance is real. Survival strategy is therefore not “be perfectly silent every night” but “be silent enough most nights and recover quickly when caught”.

When sprinting is unavoidable

Sprint is the only escape once the creature commits to your structure. Treat sprint as a long-chain resource:

1. Save stamina during daylight — never burn it on ordinary loot.
2. Identify exits before dark — know your two best exits per safehouse.
3. Call the route — voice callouts of “north door” or “kitchen exit” let teammates cover your retreat.
4. Drop heavy items with Backspace/B before running — weight slows sprint.
5. Reach a connected safehouse — moving from one compromised structure to a known defended one is faster than fighting inside the doomed building.

Blood Moon — verified changes

The Blood Moon form multiplies damage (40–50 instead of 25–30) and changes aggression patterns. TrophiesHunter and west-wood-remake.fandom.com both list the Blood Moon variant as the harder, faster, larger creature. It is not yet confirmed whether the Remake maintains a seasonal Blood Moon cycle or whether it ties to a higher risk threshold (70+ risk per the original system on west-wood-remake.fandom.com/wiki/Risk_System).

Use the Risk System page to estimate when the danger tier increases. Plan Blood Moon nights with full squad, full supplies, and at least one player holding a flamethrower for the badge interaction.

Common misconceptions

• “You can defeat it” — every public wiki warns that the creature cannot be permanently defeated with current items. You can delay it, redirect it with bear traps, or burn it briefly with a flamethrower.
• “Hiding always works” — verified reports note the AI often knows your structure regardless of stealth choices. Treat hiding as delay, not guarantee.
• “He only appears at midnight” — the active window is night-time; dusk and early-night encounters also happen. Don’t trust a clock — trust your sprint bar.
