Tarriassuit/Talliqat/Talliirait

The Tarriassuit are a form of supernatural creatures from Inuit myth. They are invisible, only being seen by their shadows, but otherwise are completely normal people. Though they could not be seen head on, they could be seen out of the peripherals. Along with invisibility they are also noted to not leave footprints. Due to their appearance (or lack thereof) they are often referred to as invisible people or shadow people. They served no specific threat and were thought of as good people. As they are unseen and refuse to attack someone who is defenseless, they never fight humans. They make their homes in the mountains and enter their homes through what appear to be solid cliffs without openings. They run when hunting and can only take down prey they can catch up with. They become visible when they die.
