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.
