The Angeoa (pronounced ong-oo-aw)[1] is an enormous lake monster of Inuktitut mythology from Dubawnt Lake, Nunavut, Canada.

Description[]

The Angeoa is described as being a solid black whale-like marine animal with a very large dorsal fin. It is reportedly 50-60 feet long. The Inuit believe it is very hostile, and it has been known to overturn kayaks and eat the occupants inside. [1][2]

Sightings[]

In writer and environmentalist Farley Mowat’s book People of the Deer, he tells the story of an Inuit man whose father was killed by the Angeoa in 1899. His father's kayak was overturned by the monster and he was eaten, along with his companion onboard. [1][2]
