Today, the Lynx is simply known as just a large and generally un-domesticated wildcat, but it played a part in the mythological traditions of the Greek, Norse and North Americans. It has been known as the keeper of secrets, and having eyesight so good it can see straight through solid objects.

The Jenu is a cannibalistic hairy giant, that shares some (albeit little,) resemblance to the Yeti, Sasquatch or Bigfoot of American fame. The Jenu is a part of Mi’kmaq (pronounced “Mick-Mack”) folklore, who are natives of Canada’s Atlantic Provinces.
It has the ability to possess humans and transform them into other Jenu, people whom practise cannibalism are of particular risk!

“Iku-Turso, son of Old-age. Ocean monster, manifested. Neither pleasure, nor displeasure.” – From the Finnish Epic, Kalevala
