This map, created by Neil Parkinson of Púca Printhouse In 2023, it showcases the monsters of Canadian mythology.
Among the many myths that the author recovers in this map, some of the most iconic are worth highlighting:
- Sasquatch, the bipedal great ape most commonly associated with the forests of British Columbia and Alberta in the south-west.
- Ogopogo, the Okanagan Lake monster, probably the best known in the country, also in the south-west.
- Wendigo, the cannibal spirit associated with greed and excess, in the central-eastern region.
- Mishipeshu, the great lynx that rules the waters of Lake Superior, the natural enemy of the Thunderbird, in the south-central region.
- Waheela, a colossal wolf associated with the Nahanni Valley – known as «the headless valley» – in the north-west.
- Qamulek, the figure with the impossible face, pulling a sledge in a straight line across the Arctic, in the north.
- Kajutajuq, the giant head with legs from Inuit folklore, in the north.
- Wasgo (Gonakadet), half wolf and half orca, a figure from Haida culture on the west coast.
Many of the myths depicted are typical of a much wider region than the one in which they are located on the map, and much of the Inuit folklore from the north of the country appears in different variations and spellings depending on the source consulted.
