In Inuit mythology an ijiraq is a sort of shape shifter who kidnaps children and hides them away and abandons them. The inuksugaq (or inukshuk) of stone allow these children to find their way back if they can convince the ijiraq to let them go.#GothicAdvent

Unsettling creatures to the north. The Ijiraq is said to be a protector of the wilds but I think its just really creepy. It wears the skull and bones of elk and caribou but no one knows what its actual face looks like.

As the Ijiraq is a shapeshifter it can come in a range of different shapes and sizes, even going so far as to copy the appearance of other monsters.

From Inuit mythology comes the Ijiraq. A shape shifting creature who kidnaps children. Legend has them as people who went too far north, and became trapped between the world of the living and the dead.
