Also referred to as Wasgo, the Sea Wolf is a supernatural figure associated with the mystique and power of the ocean. As Thunderbird represents the prodigiousness of the sky, Sea Wolf represents the vastness of the sea. This creature is often shown with the head and tail of a wolf, with whale elements such as fins and a blowhole.
