  • The Apotamkin (also spelled apotampkin) is a creature in Native American mythology. According to the mythology, it is a giant fanged sea monster that lives in the Passamaquoddy Bay and pulls people in to eat them, particularly careless children. It is said to have long red hair, and in some versions, it was a human woman before being changed into a serpent. One interpretation of Apotamkin myth is that it was used to instill fear into children to keep them from venturing into areas alone and without parental guidance. In popular culture, Apotampkin was briefly referenced in the 2008 film Twilight. It is often mistakenly called a "vampire" by non-Native Americans, especially since it was named as such in the film, but in Maliseet and Passamaquoddy legends it is unrelated to vampires. (en)
  • De Apotamkin is een monsterlijk wezen in de Noord-Amerikaanse mythologie van de Native-Americans. De gebruikelijke uitleg is dat Apotamkin gebruikt wordt om kinderen bang te maken zodat ze niet alleen op pad gaan, zonder ouderlijke begeleiding. In 2008 werd kort aan Apotampkin gerefereerd in de film Twilight. Apotamkin wordt door niet-inheemse Amerikanen vaak een vampier genoemd, omdat dat in die film ook werd gedaan. In legendes van de Maliseet- en Passamaquoddy-indianen bestaat geen verband met vampiers. Volgens de mythologie is het een enorme zeeslang met giftanden die in de Passamaquoddy Bay leeft en mensen, vooral onvoorzichtige kinderen, grijpt, het water in sleept en opeet. Het beest zou lang rood haar hebben, in sommige versies was het een vrouw voordat ze in een slang veranderde. (nl)
