The Qallupilluit is a Boogeyman figure in Inuit folklore. It's said that they kidnap misbehaving children. If a child is near the edge of ice or water the Qallupilluit will stuff them into its amautik (similar to a parka) and drown them in the water.
There are conflicting reports as to the appearance and gender of the Qallupilluit. Though it is always in a humanoid form. They are said to have bumpy, or scaly or slimy skin and reek of sulfur. When the creature is feminine it's described as having long flowing hair, long nails, and green slimy skin. It's said that she uses the children to maintain her hair.
