In this first ever Monster Lore Tour Holiday special, we take you to the frozen North above the Arctic Circle. Moz explores the commonality and the complexity of the many arctic shapeshifters haunting the frozen wastes. Then, to the horror of children near and far, he ruins Christmas forever with his Rudolph the Red Nosed Not-Deer thesis.
Thank you once again to Mr. Tim Leavy for writing us the greatest theme song in the paranormal realms. You can find him at https://www.timleavy.com/

Kigutilik origins: the “shaman killer” derived from Rasmussen:
“ The big one is called Nålaqnaq ; the listener; large mouth, two teeth, tongue protruding, shapeless hands with six fingers; moves at a run. The other is Pungoq, or the dog; long ears, two mouths, three legs, the rearmost shapeless. One night while sleeping in a stone shelter these evil spirits came over him and would have eaten him if the dogs had not kept them at a distance. — Below: Kigutilik, or the spirit with the giant's teeth. One spring he was out sealing, and this monster came up out of an opening in the ice; it was as big as a bear but higher; with long legs which had large bumps at the joints; two tails, one big ear that only seemed to be joined to a fold in the skin, and teeth as gross as a walrus's tusks. It was bare and only had hair in fringes. It emitted a mighty roar: "Ah — ah — ah!", and he became so frightened that he fled home without first securing it for a helping spirit. Drawn by Anarqåq.
