Palrayuk

A large six-legged beast about three or more Qayaqs long that looked to have an otter’s body with scales that swam around Qaluyaarmiut and Beard Inlet. He had a long tail, legs of an otter, walrus flippers for his feet, 3 fish fins on his back above each set of flipper legs. He had gills like a fish, large ears that curled like rounded cones to hear under water and hear like a regular animal above water. When he walked, he closed his flippers into fists and walked on his knuckles. He had a long tongue for harpooning salmon and halibut and stiff long whiskers like an otter but bigger. He had no trouble hunting for food.
