In Inuit mythology, Agloolik (Inuktitut: ᐊᒡᓗᓕᒃ) is a spirit that lives underneath the ice and acts as tutelary guardian for the protection of seals.[1] It is said to provide aid to fishermen and hunters.[2][3] If hunters prayed to the spirit before fishing, Agloolik will bless the hunters with prey.[4]
