Qiqirn is a large, bald dog spirit in Inuit mythology, from around the area of Baffin Island. It has hair only on its feet, mouth and the tips of its ears and tail. Its presence will send men and dogs into convulsions, sometimes fatal. However, it is frightened of humans and will run away if an angakkuq sees it. A similar term, also from Inuit mythology, is keelut, a malevolent earth spirit which also appears as a hairless dog. Daniel Merkur suggested that the fits caused by the qiqirn were allusions to shamanic initiations.

- In de Inuit-mythologie is Qiqirn de geest van de honden. Door zijn lange gestalte en kaalheid is hij angstaanjagend, maar hij is ook dom. Mensen en honden vluchten ervoor, en de geest vlucht voor mensen en honden. Qiqirn heeft haar op zijn voeten, oren, mond en staart. (nl)
- Na mitologia Inuit, Qiqirn é um espírito de cachorro grande e calvo. É uma besta amedrontadora, mas também tola.Tem cabelo em seus pés, orelha, boca e a gorjeta de seu rabo. (pt)
