In some versions of the legend, she is described as having fins or webbed fingers and toes, making her a part-human, part-sea creature hybrid. Her hair is long and dark, flowing like seaweed, and her face is said to be wrinkled and grotesque.
One of the defining traits of the Qalupalik is her childlike wailing. According to Inuit stories, she lures children to the water’s edge by mimicking the sound of a crying child or softly calling their names.
The tale of the Qalupalik serves as both a cautionary story and a reflection of the Inuit's relationship with the unforgiving Arctic waters.
Origins and Description of the Qalupalik
The Qalupalik (sometimes spelled Qallupilluk or Qalupalit) is a water-dwelling creature in Inuit folklore, typically described as a monstrous, humanoid figure that lives beneath the cold, icy waters of the Arctic. The Qalupalik has the appearance of a human but with greenish, slimy skin and long, sharp nails.
One dark and eerie folklore story that comes from a small, traditional culture is the tale of the Qalupalik from Inuit mythology. The Inuit, indigenous peoples inhabiting the Arctic regions of Greenland, Canada, and Alaska, have a rich oral tradition filled with stories that reflect their deep connection to nature and the harsh environment in which they live. The Qalupalik, a sinister figure lurking beneath the icy waters, is one of their most unsettling and haunting legends.

In the painful realization that they were never there when I needed emotional support the most, I began to question if they truly deserve a place in my life now, or if...
Ask a Stupid Question Day
If tomatoes are technically fruits, does that mean ketchup is a smoothie?
@ChrisPierson You can just use "unknown" for me—I’m not too keen on sharing my real name.
FACT OF THE DAY:
Namibia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, Twyfelfontein, is home to over 2,500 cave paintings and carvings on 212 slabs of rock and 13 panels, some of which are almost 6,000 years old.
It’s in the "harmless" things they say,
The judgments brushed beneath the rug,
Pretending not to see the cracks,
Yet in the cracks, they plant the dug.
For subtle wounds still leave their scars,
And quiet hate is still the same—
It whispers softly, but it strikes,
Still drenched in bitter, burning shame.
No matter how the words are dressed,
The meaning doesn't shift or bend,
For bigotry—no matter how soft—
Is still a storm that doesn’t end.
The Quiet Harm
It’s in the space between the words,
The smiles that never quite reach eyes,
A whisper carried on the wind,
Yet silencing like winter skies.
It’s in the glance, the sideways stare,
A joke that cuts too deep to heal,
The questions asked with veiled intent,
Yet claiming, “It’s not a big deal.”
It’s in the doors that never open,
The shadows where we learn to shrink,
A history we can’t erase,
Yet in its wake, we're forced to sink.
