Torngarsuk
Torngarsuk is a prominent supernatural being in Greenlandic and northeastern Canadian Inuit traditions, described as leader of a class of protective spirits called the Tornat and associated with the sea, death, and the underworld. He is invoked by angakkuit (shamans/medicine-men) and by fishermen as a source of good fortune and healing and is traditionally said to be visible only to ritual specialists.
Anguta
Anguta is an ancestral/parent figure in Inuit cosmology associated with the sea-goddess Sedna and the underworld Adlivun. Different traditions variously portray him as a creator or supreme being (especially in some Greenlandic accounts), a mortal ancestor, and most consistently as a psychopomp or lord of the dead who ferries souls and supervises part of the afterlife journey.
