Lore

Baykok is a skeletal hunter in Ojibwe (Native American) folklore, a tall, emaciated warrior spirit born from hunters who died unsatisfied or dishonored. It hunts with invisible arrows, paralyzing victims with terrifying screams before eating their livers. The Baykok flies silently at night, embodying vengeance and the consequences of greed or disrespect in hunting traditions. It serves as a cautionary figure, warning against selfishness and the violation of natural balance in indigenous lore.
