Baykok | Hunter in the Darkness
647Picture this...you're a hunter in the Great Lakes, looking for game in the deep forest. Suddenly, you hear a faint scraping sound uncommon in nature, and the chills begin to intensify...the Baykok is on the hunt! Appearing in the stories of the Ojibwe people, the Baykok is a skeletal spirit that perpetually roams the forests, looking for other hunters to make a meal out of. It never tires, it never gives up until its prey is under its knife!
