Akhlut (Inuit)

In Inuit mythology, Akhlut (Pronounced Ock-lut or Ack-lut) takes the form of both a wolf and an orca. It is a vicious, dangerous beast. Its tracks can be recognized because they are wolf tracks that lead to and from the ocean. Often, dogs seen walking to the ocean and/or into it are considered evil.

Little is known of this beast, other than that it shapeshifts from an orca to a wolf when hungry. Not many myths relate to this creature but a great number of myths tell of creatures that shift their shape. It is normally portrayed as a mix of an orca and a wolf. Often, dogs seen walking to the ocean or into it are considered one of these malevolent beasts.
