Amarok (Inuit)

An Amarok, or Amaroq, is a gigantic wolf in Inuit religion, said to stalk and devour any person foolish enough to hunt alone at night. Unlike wolves who hunt in packs, amaroks hunt alone. They are solitary hunters who go after anyone foolish enough to hunt alone at night. It casts an imposing figure and it is believed to be a gigantic wolf with razor sharp teeth with exceptional predatory instincts.

The tale of the Amarok is said to have its origins in old Eskimo stories about the now extinct direwolf. It also is an adept hunter with extremely heightened senses that allow it to hunt unsuspecting humans during the night. From some Inuit legends, we also know that the Amarok can be a passionate creature, as is the case with the lonely, weak boy who was cast aside by his tribe.
