- Tupilak: Mystical creatures and carvings of the Greenlandic eskimo.
"a misfortune-bringing creature fashioned in utmost secrecy by someone skilled in sorcery from parts of various animals and humans. It was made alive by the singing of a charm song and grew large by sucking from the sexual organ of its maker. Then it was put in the sea to swim to its victim and do away with him. Possibly the victim himself was skilled in sorcery and so strong that the tupilak instead turned around and killed its maker." (Kaalund)
