In the Inuit mythology of the Labrador and Hudson Bay coasts, the Adlet are monsters that drink blood. They are the offspring of a woman and a red dog. Five of the woman's ten children were dogs who crossed the seas to engender the European races. The other five children were the monstrous Adlet. The offspring of the Adlet are known as the Erqigdlit.
Additional Information
The Adlet, based on Alaskan Inuit legend, is a bloodthirsty race of canine-like hominids which are said to be the offspring of an Inuit woman’s unnatural mating with a ferocious giant red dog. The woman became impregnated with this creature's offspring, to later gave birth to ten fur-covered, canine-like children.
According to said legend, the terrified Inuit woman sent five of these children across the sea, where they sired in what the Inuit referred to as the white races. The remaining five children are said to have stayed close to the mother’s home, where they slowly developed into vicious, cannibalistic warriors. The offspring of this woman are also known as the Erqugdlit.
The carniverous Adlet can be classified as a member of the Hybrid species. Its size and weight are completely unknown. Its primary way to move around is Bipedal Walking. In this instance, this creature could be considered a member of the humanoid classification. The environment in which lives in is also unknown. Although the legend of the Adlet is surely based purely in mythology, some researchers have linked this tale to European legends of the Werewolf. [1]
