7Here is a list of mythical creatures beginning with this letter and I am constantly gathering information from each continent and continually updating.
Auvekoejak (Inuit)
In the Inuit folklore of Greenland and northern Canada, the Auvekoejak is a furry merman that has fur on its fish tail instead of scales.
A type of Mermen, the male counterparts of the mythical female mermaids, are legendary creatures which are human from the waist up and fish-like from the waist down, but may assume normal human shape. Sometimes they are described as hideous and other times as handsome.
An early settler in Iceland (c.?11th century) allegedly caught a merman while fishing, and the creature prophesied one thing: the man's son will gain possession of the piece of land where the mare Skalm chooses to "lie down under her load". In a subsequent fishing trip the man was drowned, survived by the boy who stayed behind.
