It’s not good to talk about this openly because you can attract its attention by saying its name. But there’s an Algonquian spirit matching the monster in the comic. You can probably find it by googling “Algonquian myth hungry spirit”. The way white fiction writers have appropriated it as a symbol of “evil native american culture” is disgusting. This is a much better example that doesn’t use the monster as a cheap exoticised gimmick.

It’s so pretty and the characters are all very likeable. You’ve got the traumatized himbo, the self-loathing floofball, Mister Hubris… it’s great!
