Hinqumemen/Engulfer

The Hinqumemen is a creature from the myth of the Coeur d’Alene Native Americans. It is a living sentient lake. If any take water from the lake, it will follow them back to their village in an amorphous form. It engulfs its victims in water and drags them back to the lake. Once back, it drowns them.
