A vicious creature from the Arctic Circle. Irraq began life as an abandoned baby but grew up to become a cannibal. According to tradition, a festival would take place where an ancient form of ice-cream known as ‘akutaq’ would be offered to everyone. Even the smallest of babies were given some. Irraq was missed out on this. Later his family found him alone staring at them with his mouth covered in blood. The mother could not be found anywhere. The villagers gave him a magical amulet for protection and sent him to live in the mountains.
