Traits
Read from the figure's description, which a model wrote. Open "why" for the sentence a trait came from.
Behaviour
- Mythical she-wolf ancestor of a people
why
The story is therefore an account of where other peoples came from, told from the inside, and the Adlet are the half of the family that stayed behind and turned dangerous.
Offensive powers
- Blood drain
why
They are described from the Labrador and western Hudson Bay coasts, and the same beings are called Erqigdlit by the Inuit of Greenland and Baffin Island — human in the upper body and dog below, and thirsty for blood.
Roles
Judged from the works' own entries, not from the description. Carries: the figure holds the role. Meets: the role is in its stories, held by something it meets.
