The cited sources do not provide a cosmogonic or birth narrative for Aipaloovik. What is recorded in those sources presents Aipaloovik functionally as a malevolent sea-associated deity within Inuit belief — a destructive force tied to the marine realm and opposed to the named being Anguta — but they do not supply an origin story or account of the entity's creation or genealogy.
The available sources do not record a consistent or detailed physical description of Aipaloovik. Neither Wikipedia nor the linked Wikidata entry supplies information on form, size, anthropomorphic or zoomorphic features, or iconography; traditional accounts in the cited material do not specify a visual depiction.
Sources characterize Aipaloovik generally as a sea or water deity associated with death and destruction and explicitly as a danger to fishermen. The materials do not enumerate specific powers, mechanisms, or behaviors (for example, whether Aipaloovik causes particular weather, drowns people, or attacks boats) beyond this broad association with maritime peril and mortality.
