Description
He's been here beforeI see the terror in their eyes
Their boats are shaking
It hides at the bottom
Of this icy cold dark blue
The shape of a giant
I dive deep
Sea Monster
I have no fear of you
I swim these currents
Like I'm one of you
Sea Monster- Mire Kay [link]
-----
Wasgos are sea wolves of Northwestern American cultures, Haida included. They were monsters that lived in the Pacific Ocean. They looked like normal wolf pups when they were born, but eventually grow to be three times the size of any Orca whale. Neither good nor evil, but to be feared nonetheless. Their main prey consisted of Killer Whales, but I highly doubt they'd be picky to humans or selkies.
In one instance, Aurora actually ran into one by accident. She and her friends were fishing when it suddenly roused from its slumber from the bottom of the ocean.
She and the monster were locked in a stare down- she was too petrified to move.
And yet, it did nothing. It merely looked at her She looked at it. This went on for only a minute but it felt like forever.
And then it swam away- not so much as a growl or a howl.
Thus her village called her the little Sea Wolf- the wily youth who looked a Wasgo in the eyes and lived to tell the tale

Wow, you sure drew one cool-looking Wasgo! It looks really awesome in red and black!
Its eyes kind of remind me of Meowth's from pokΓ©mon. Also, it's cool how you gave the Wasgo "eyebrow" like patches like you see on a husky. Its dorsal fin and eye spots on its tail are awesome!
Really great design!

Oh wow this is really cool. (Also looks like I have something else to research for my 'wolves in culture and folklore' project I'm doing at college )

Definately an encounter worth getting a tattoo for O:
I wonder if they would eat humans? Seems like killer whales try to avoid people snacks but you never know with monsters.
Such a neat piece~!

Thanks!
From what i read they're known to attack sailors, so I'm guessing human is occasionally on the menu
