Amarok | The Great Wolf
Inuit mythology tells of a creature, or race of creatures, that takes the form of a gigantic wolf with piercing eyes and a howl like a blizzard....the amarok! The amarok is said to be the keeper of the natural balance, mediating between hunter and prey. It is also said to be an unmatched hunter in its own right, consuming scores of caribou in the blink of an eye, as well as any human foolish enough to wander the tundra after dark. Amaroks appear in many stories of Inuit mythology and folklore, acting as healer, monster, and a bridge between the physical and spirit realms!

This thing reminds me of the wolf spirits from Princess Mononoke.
The story of the Boy and the Amarok caused my youngest nephews to try and wrestle me. For refrence, I'm 5 foot eleven and their about almost a yard tall each at age 4 and 3. I just kinda shake my head at them, and put them in air jail until they simmer down. XD
The Amarok is among my most favorite of all mythical creatures, and featured in my own fantasy book, which I hope to turn into a series.

Just make sure you're respectful to the real world culture that created this creature.

That may be the single best comment that we've ever had on one of our episodes!
Impressive! So glad you’re back! Keep the spirit if the wolf alive in your souls for eternity!
I love wolves in folklore and mythology but I never knew about the Amarok. I love the duality of their character in these stories! The idea of them taking revenge by stealing a man's spirit instead of just killing him through brute force is exceptionally chilling. 😱 Glad to have you back and can't wait to see what's around the corner for this channel! ❤🐺❤🐺❤🐺
The Amarok is one of my favorite wolf based creatures! Thank you for the video. The TTRP Pathfinder has them in it as magical (and intelligent) beasts. This gives me a better idea how to run them.
The Amarok is one of my favorite creatures in mythology.
Ah yes….my favorite, :D
I knew wolves aren’t seen as evil beast
Perfect and on werewolf Wednesday
Great stories. I can't afford feeling like humans are always either greedy or stupid in so many occasions.
Awesome
Sounds like the Fenris wolf's good twin.
It's been so long and I love doggies! Seen God of War Ragnarok? Fenrir is both fearsome and adorable!
❤🤍💙 all your videos mate👍
Excellent video
Awesome!
I'm so glad you are still in business, and showing the legend of one of my favorite cryptids, thank you. I always love the stories of the Demon Wolf of Alaska, and I'm not even from there. It's always amazing on how you dig up so much of these lores and legends. How do you even find these fantastic, detailed stories in the first place? I just love these legendary stories and I love your videos with them.
Do more indigenous myths please? Also I’ve heard the Waheela, the white death as a large cat like creature instead of a wolf.
Im so glad your back, this was a great video. Inuit myths are so unkown and telling the stories of wolves was a great idea. One day you should do a comparison of wolves from native myths and european.

We did something similar to that a few months ago with our Wolves in Mythology episode!
Thanks for all your hard work on this, great way to end the day.
Wonderful! I learn something new about mythology every time you upload a new video.
Thank you for the video I've heard of this legend in Alaska a long time ago 🐺
Wonderful legend, beautifully told. Thank you!
Could you do a video on the Japanese wolf gods Okami and The Okuri-inu yokai? Also the Wolf god in the Ainu culture?Thank you for you amazing videos.

We can do those in the future!
Thank you for another video of these beautiful creatures! ❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful episode! I'd never heard of the Amarok, very cool! 😎 🐺 👏
I just discovered your channel a week ago, and immediately binge watched all of your videos! I was so excited to see a new upload! Thank you!
Not all Europeans viewed wolves negatively, we have the Roman legend of Romulus and Remus raised by the kindly she wolf and in Irish traditional culture the wold was viewed in a similar nature to Native Americans in a very spiritual way, it was called Mactera which means son of the land.
You mention Fenrir and Garm but there is also Gerki and Ferki and Skol and Hati :)
Oh Wow !!! This is beautiful !!! 🥰
Missing In Alaska had an episode that spoke of this creature!
Native American mythology is amazing, Blessed Be.
I always wondered about this story. Don't ask. So thank you for the video.
The art work is stunning. 3:47 caught my eye.
Now that's a big bad wolf you should afraid of.

This comment coming from a cartoon 💀
Anyone else being reminded of the Loth - wolves from Star Wars Rebels?
Ok. I went through and found all the wolves in mythology i could one day. How did i miss this one? The closest i got to this one was Assenna from Turkish mythology
With the courage of a wolf 🐺 Jungle Fury Violet wolf Ranger
Amarok one of the inuit mythology.
Looks like a good boy.
It is kind of interesting how different the mythical depiction of the same animal can be in different cultures.
Wow!!!!!!
I wonder if this is the same wolf Spirit that had something to do with another inuit legend about the adlet race
Cool
Killed pups how sick and heartless
I wish I could see an Amarok
Gotta say killing the pups of gigantic wolves is not a wise idea.
This might be the inspiration for the fairy animal for Flora in Winx Club. Do you think?

Doubt it
Any relation to Maro from Princess Mononoke?
Amarok vs Fenrir/Garm who win?
Amaroq is spelled with a Q.
You left out quite a lot from the boy's tale and how he gained the respect of his people.

We needed to keep the focus on the Amarok! We certainly can revisit the story in a future episode!

Wolves really are the best animals to exist

I wonder why White Wolf didn’t just use This Spirit as the Totem for the 5th Ed “Wendigo”…
