Adlets possess the upper body of a human and the lower body of a dog, though they are sometimes depicted as humanoid creatures that have both the body and head of a dog but walk on their hind legs and clothe themselves as humans. They are known for their strength and agility, making them formidable hunters in the snowy Arctic regions. In Inuit folklore, they are often portrayed as fierce and feared beings.
