Inuarutligaks

humanoid · Greenland · North America

Not independently attested in Greenlandic folklore. No reliable Greenlandic source records beings called 'Inuarutligaks'; the name resembles a corruption of Greenlandic words for people or giants. The closest attested analogues are the qivittoq, humans who fled to the wilderness and became monstrous, and the dreaded giant spirits of inland Greenland.
