In Inuit mythology, Qiqirn is a large, bald dog spirit. It is a frightening beast, but also skittish and foolish. Men and dogs run from it, and it runs from men and dogs. It has hair on its feet, ear, mouth and the tip of its tail. When people approach it, they suffer fits. One way to scare it away is to shout its name.

Some Qiqirn have even made use of their sharp sense of smell to become extremely wealthy in the production of fragrances.
According to their oral tradition, the ancestors of the Qiqirn lived a nomadic life in the northern lands.
Even today, remnants of the Qiqirn's ancient lifestyle may be seen in their unique customs, such as their sheep-led wagon homes, their leather clothing, and their habit of carrying their valuables with them at all times.
Appearance: Qiqirn has the typical pale Inuit skin, which is stretched over a scarred and grizzled body that, despite advancing age, still averages less than the medically safe level of body fat, and is overly muscular.
Qiqirn had grown up with very few people his own age, the only one of note a female friend he'd known since birth, as their parents were also close.
Qiqirn single handedly killed a large polar bear, and had just finished skinning it (except for the head, which he left to show his respect for the animal's might) when several of the tribe's elder's turned up.
