In Inuit mythology, Keelut also known as Ke'lets, Qiqion, or Qiqirn,[1] is an evil chthonic spirit who resembles a hairless dog. It is said to feast upon the dead, and is sometimes seen as a harbinger of death.[2] Having hair only on its feet, the tracks of the Keelut are said to disappear, giving those the creature stalks no warning of its presence.[3]
