The Apotamkin is a bogeyman creature in Native American mythology.[1] One interpretation of Apotamkin is that it is a myth used to instill fear into children from venturing into areas alone and without parental guidance.[2][3]
The Apotamkin is sometimes considered to be a native Indian version of a vampire. There are different kinds of the Apotamkin around the world.

In Twilight, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) finds a website about the Apotamkin as the "cold ones". The website was created specifically for the movie, and never actually posted to the internet.
