The Tizheruk

Ai Generated

Inuit Folklore has many mythical creatures one particularly peculiar monster is known as the Tizheruk. In stories this beast is depicted as a large sea serpent that inhabits the cold icy Artic waters of Alaska.

Lore suggest this large around 15 foot long snake-like entity has a head similar to a horse or dog. This creature has a predatory nature and is rumored to snatch people from shorelines or boats with ease, typically targeting those that are all alone.

This being is most likely just a story from Inuit tribes to ward village members from hunting or traveling by themselves however the idea of a giant sea serpent stalking the seas is both frightening and fascinating.
