They say that boy not only ate his family, they said he went mad with hunger. He went after my people, and then when my tribe caught him, they... Killing him would have been too easy. They wanted that boy to suffer. For his crimes against our people, crimes against nature. They cursed him. He's doomed to roam the woods always starving. And if he didn't feed his body would eat itself. The Kohonta aren't born. They're made.

Episodes
14.16 Don't Go in the Woods
In Polk City, Iowa, a Kohonta kills a teenage girl, Barbra, witnessed by her boyfriend Thomas and Thomas's father, Sheriff Mason Romero. The attack draws the attention of Sam and Dean, who discover a pattern of missing people in the area going back to at least 1943 and possibly further. Investigation into the local lore reveals a Kohonta as the culprit, while Mason identifies the Kohonta as Henry Parker, an early settler in the area who engaged in cannibalism and was cursed for it. Though the Native Americans had bound Henry to part of the forest and marked it, the truth was forgotten over time and thought of simply as a legend. In a confrontation with Henry, Mason kills him with a silver blade to the heart and they are able to save Thomas, who had gone after the Kohonta in revenge.
Trivia
- The creation lore for a Kohonta is similar to that of a wendigo. The primary difference is that the Kohonta is cursed before they reach the point where their cannibalism would transform them into a wendigo.
- The creature design and make-up was by Céline Godeau -- co-owner of Chimera House of Makeup Effects. They posted on Instagram (the image to the right):
- "What a special episode for us! Shout out to the outstanding Andrew Long, who brought our creature to life, and let us complete building the suit on him over a series of 4+ days. Thank you to @geoffredknap for seeing our vision and then being there with us for every creature-suit build day and set day."
