Keelut

In Inuit mythology, ‘Keelut’ also known as Ke'lets, Qiqion, or Qiqirn,^[1] is an evil chthonic spirit who resembles a hairless dog. It is said to feast upon the dead, and is sometimes seen as a harbinger of death.^[2] Having hair only on its feet, the tracks of the Keelut are said to disappear, giving those the creature stalks no warning of its presence.^[3]
