Amarok is the name of a gigantic wolf in Inuit mythology.
It is said to hunt down and devour anyone foolish enough to hunt alone at night. Unlike real wolves who hunt in packs, Amarok hunts alone. It is sometimes considered equivalent to the waheela of cryptozoology.
[edit] Popular culture
- A wolf was named Amaroq in the book Julie of the Wolves
- A pack of 10 Amaroks appeared in the The Secret Saturdays episode "The Ice Caverns of Ellef Ringnes" with their vocal effects done by Fred Tatasciore.
