Water Being (Amu’lukw) or Lake Monster (Amhuluk)

Amhuluk’s Catchphrase: “If you can’t handle the horns, go swim with the sharks.”

Amhuluk is not the kind of monster many creatures ever meet, and if they do, they don’t live to tell anyone about it. Luckily, I have met him many times and am very hard to kill. Amhuluk is a water and disease monster, originally from and still terrorizing Oregon in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. He may have once been a god but no longer. He does give me god energy sometimes. I actually met this particular monster right around the same time Shel, Frank, and I rescued my favorite frogman, Papa A (another great story for another time). Do not tell Papa A, I called him frogman. He’ll flip and that will be worse for you than me.

I call Amhuluk, Hulu. He pretends to abhor it. I am positive he secretly loves having a nickname. The name makes him feel more approachable but that is not his thing, not at all. He does not want anyone or anything to approach…
