The Tlingit have kushtaka, or land-otter people; the Haida have gagit, drowned spirit ghosts; the Nootka (Nuu-Chah-Nulth) have pukubts, a name which seems etymologically related to the Kwakiutl bakwas, as is the Tsimshian ba'wis.
Rumored to live in the forests near the area of Lake Iliamna, the Urayuli are said to be peaceful creatures, unlike the Kushtaka of Southeastern Alaska.
