PAIJA
Folklore of the Innuit and Ihalmiut peoples of Canada
This is the name of a monster in the folklore beliefs of the Inuit and Ihalmiut peoples of Canada. She is described as a huge, grotesque, humanoid female with long, black hair flowing over her body and just one leg that emerges from the region of her genitalia. The PAIJA is a predatory being that hunts and tracks humans in the winter snow during the long winter nights. She will especially seek men caught in the blizzards to devour them. A single look from her, or merely the sight of her, is instantaneous death, and therefore anyone seeing her twisted, single -foot track in the snow will not venture out until it is safe.
