Kajutaijuq
Legendary female spirit of the Inuit, Kajutaijuq is described as having tattoos on her face and a breast on each cheek. She is said to eat the Eskimo people and to create thunder when she walks. Kajutaijuq is large and she is clumsy. She has only 3 toes on each foot, a big head that rests on her stumpy legs. She has no body.
Kajutaijuq is a troublemaker. She causes knocks and creaks and unexplained sounds.
Watch out for Kajutaijuq!
