Aajumaaq, the Sleeved One, which lives in a tunnel in the ice cap. This creature has long, slender arms that are black from the elbows down, with each hand having only three fingers. The head resembles a bald or skeletal dog’s head, with large, piercing eyes. The Sleeved One floats through the air, and when it touches anything, including a human, that thing soon rots away.
Eqqillit, the Dog People. These are half-dog, half-human creatures who live in packs on or near the ice cap. They move fast enough to outrun humans, and they have a great sense of smell. They are extremely aggressive and hostile and love to pick fights with humans. For weapons, they use bows and knives.
The cachet depicts Immap Nanua, or the Bear of the Sea. This bear is so big that it can wade through fjords, and when it puts its front paws on the shore and cranes its neck, it can lick the highest mountaintops.
All the designs on the stamps and the stories behind them are taken from this book, Bestiarium Greenlandica, which was published in 2018 by Milik Publishing. It was edited by Maria Bach Kreutzmann and illustrated by various artists.
The first-day cancellation for all issues has a drawing of Umiarissat, who are warriors with bushy beards, big hats, and shiny weapons. They disguise themselves as seals, and when they reach shore, they turn into human-like creatures to attack settlements and butcher the people.
