Akhlut

## Mod

Additional Creatures 2: Paranoia

Akhluts are cryptid fantasy creatures in Additional Creatures.

## Synopsis

Ahklut are giant wolf-orca hybrids in Inuit mythology, powerful native spirit-beasts. While in the ark network it could be easy to assume the culprit of sightings to be an enlarged Ambulocetus or Pakicetus, those who live near the tundra's shorelines report something vastly different. A massive, four-legged shape hauling itself onto the ice, climbing out of the sea to stalk the land. If such a creature did exist, it would easily be an extremely powerful and versatile mount, able to provide ample protection and travel in both the sea and land.

## Notes/Trivia

* While dubbed a cryptid, the Akhlut is the only creature in the Additional Creatures: Paranoia that are mythological creatures rather than proper cryptids. It was implemented to further pay homage to Zoo Tycoon: Paranoia.
* The Akhlut is a shape-shifting spirit in Inuit mythology, an evil entity that switches between the form of a wolf and an orca. It is not a hybrid in the legends. However, the Inuit commonly like to depict the Akhlut midway through transformation, which is what sparked its perception in pop culture.
* Stories of the Akhlut stem from wolf tracks that would seemingly end at the ocean.
* Since its inclusion, the Akhlut has recieved a TLC where it received a new model and animations, along with the addition of many new attacks. This TLC also introduced the Sacred Akhlut.
* The Sacred Akhlut's patterns are based on Akhlut totems.
* In the lore of Additional Creatures, Akhlut is a pinniped.
* An alpha aklhut are planned and currently in the testing phase.
