Mythical Creatures of the Arctic and Cold

[@sleeplesssongbird7625]

Speaking as someone whom is part Native American, (Lakota primarily), the depiction of a Wendigo being Deer-like is actually a Newer version of their depictions, although there are other creatures like the Deer Woman whom can appear like a deer. The Wendigo actually appear more human-like but with elongated and twisted features, grey and rotting skin and become almost emaciated. Other versions claim that their feet begin burning so much they fall off or are burned black from hiw fast they run on the wind. Until Dawn, a popular video game that came out awhile back, followed the original story's depiction of them very closely. Thanks for the video, this was interesting! 🥰

My paternal Grandmother is Half Seneca Nation, Bear Clan. She would always tell me and my cousins to beware the black heart and shape shifting of Wendigo. I think regardless of tribe or tradition, Wendigo serves as a warning of the darkness that can lie within all of us.

[@sleeplesssongbird7625]

@@battlecross8540 Absolutely!!! Your grandmother is a smart and wonderful woman from the sounds of it. 💗

This magical journey into the Arctic's legendary beasts is really spellbinding. Capturing the mind with its icy legends and enigmatic beings, this video delves into a fascinating universe.

What creature caught your attention? Which mythical creature is your preferred one from this list and why? Mine is the Akhlut (the reason I chose it to show in the thumbnail). :)

[@cryssy7094]

Wendigo it was always my preferred one. I was fascinated by it since my grandpa read me a story about it

[@SandyVlad]

Ikuutayoq

I like the Amarok because it's not a malevolent creature; it only attacks when threatened or provoked. Also, I'm a big fan of wolves! I also think that the Barbegazi are adorable!

[@silversoulfox]

[@lovely1762]

I love them all, I wish your videos were wee bit longer cause I know there are more creatures out there.

[@LorenzoVargas1981]

That would be awesome in the Monarch files to see Titanis Nanurluk

[@evaggelia-stylida]

I feel drawn to Yuki onna. Is there a video analysing the origin of her...

[@Svartalf14]

around 5:20 why do you depict the kura o kami as a western dragon (winged lizard vs the serpent like oriental dragon)?

[@wesleyvalk9129]

I kinda miss Kokogiak, Amikuk and Sermilik here!!

[@art4freak795]

Why is it when the colder a place is, the more f@#$ed up the monster get

[@Svartalf14]

wait, is not the chenoo a variation of the wendigo, just getting a different name because it is told of by non Algonquin tribes?

[@MythosTheHistorian]

well.. not quite, because it s not the same mythical creature. Chenoo is considered a giant.

[@georgeolaroiu3807]

Do you make another video Ghost Mythology Around the World From the next week Pleaae?

[@MythosTheHistorian]

The videos are made in advance with 6-8 weeks. :) Noted, added to the list.

[@wesleyvalk9129]

Are these pictures made with AI? Then I also want AI to create creatures for my projects!

[@AngelRiverar-yz7kz]

[@-Thauma-]

Wendigo, the creature from Pet Semetary (Stephen King)😱

[@kishla2827]

Any myth is cool with me

[@BlueyedKahuna]

Is the guy talking really this naive as too believe these things are meanings or just folklore or stories not to taken seriously!?

[@SandyVlad]

Your last two brain cells are really strugling... this is a mythology channel.. wtf are you talking about?

[@sleeplesssongbird7625]

He's a storyteller and Historian. Telling tales is what we do and it is actually an important insight into the early psychology of developing cultures. Do you really have nothing better to do with your time than try and be an internet troll?
