Sea Wolf
Sea Wolf is a mythical creature with the head of a wolf and fins of an orca that appears in numerous Haida and Tlingit myths and legends. Known to the Haida people as Wasga, and to the Tlingit as Gonakadet, the Sea Wolf was a popular subject for argillite carvers in the nineteenth century.
