Description
Gonakadeit was once part man-part wolf. when he was still man; he used the skin of a sea creature to disguise himself while fishing, so that he would catch more fish. He was eventually caught by two whales. They were appalled by his deception and punished him by turning him into a creature of the sea. His appearance is said to bring luck to a village, though in some stories he hides in fog waiting to drag down small boats that venture out too far from shore.Suggested by:
