Q
Quiqirn
In the inuit belief, Qiqirn is a spirit who appears in the shape
of a huge, hairless dog. It is greatly feared, and its proximity to men or dogs
causes them to have fits. But it is also a foolish creature, terrified of human
beings, and runs away the minute it is mentioned. Qiqirn is described as having
only hair on its mouth, feet, ears, and tail-tip.
