Check out these MYTHICAL And LEGENDARY Creatures From Alaska! From strange creature sightings to mysterious mythological animals, this top 10 list of weird creatures from alaska is amazing!

9. Kushtaka
The Kushtaka are shape-shifting creatures that have gone by many names by different people in the Northwest section of North America, including being legends in two different Alaskan Tribes, the Dena'ina, and Yup'ik. But regardless of the name, the legends of the creature are mostly the same.

8. Saberwolf
In Alaska, an American Mechanic was doing some work when he claimed to have seen a "wolf on steroids." This is one of a few "confirmed" sightings of a Saberwolf, also known as Waheela.
The Waheela is said to be a wolf of massive size, and even stronger build than most wolves. It's also said to have a much wider head, so this thing is pretty scary!

7. Tizheruk
The Tizheruk are sea serpent-like creatures that are said to roam in the waters of Alaska. Their heads alone are "documented" to be around 7 feet in length, and yet unlike a serpent, their tail end is actually a flipper. All told, the beast is said to be at least 15 feet in length.

6. Tornit
In the ancient days of Alaska, there were actually two groups of people who inhabited the lands after crossing the Bering Land Bridge. One was the Inuit people, who still live there today, but then, there were the Tornit, or the "Alaska Bushmen". At first, the Inuit and the Tornit were said to have lived in peace, and actually respected one another.

5. Thunderbird
Interestingly enough, the Thunderbird legend is one that is rather spread out in North America, including being told by not only Alaskans, but Native Americans in the central part of the United States.

4. Qalupalik
The Inuit people also tell stories about a monster called the Qalupalik. This is a sea creature that is actually very humanoid in its initial appearance, but looks more and more like a creature from the depths as you get closer to it. The skin of the Qalupalik is green, and when you look at the hands of the creature, they look more like claws than anything else.

3. Ji-Gi-Nak
In Lake Iliamna, there is said to be a fish that is so massive and strong that it can hunt entire packs of animals in the water by itself. Multiple Alaskan tribes have claimed to not only have seen this monster, but also be terrorized by it over the centuries. It's become a part of their folklore, and many have claimed to have seen it in the modern age as well.

2. Adlet
The Adlet are what you might call the Alaskan version of a werewolf, but with a few differences. The Inuit people describe the Adlet as a being that has the lower half of a dog, but the upper half of a human (which is different than a werewolf which is often described as a human sized and figured wolf). What's more, the legends say that these creatures were born via an unholy union between a woman and a dog.

1. Bigfoot
Bigfoot as we "know him" may not be a solely Alaskan legend, but for those who study the creature, they admit that if there are two places in North America that he/she/it could hide without much issue or worry, it's either Canada, or Alaska. And there have been many people who have reportedly "seen" Bigfoot within the state.
