Explanation:
This very deep lake is inhabited by a huge, dangerous creature that can swim and dive. Some people say it has a hen's head while others say it looks like a fox. It has been there a long time and does not bother people unless one tries to shoot at it. Many Innu have seen this dangerous creature.
