Apotamkin The Apotamkin (also spelled apotampkin) is a creature in Native American mythology.〔(Apotamkin ) Native American Mythology at godchecker.com〕 One interpretation of Apotamkin is that it is a myth used to instill fear into children to keep them from venturing into areas alone and without parental guidance. The Apotamkin was referenced in the popular movie ''Twilight'', spelled as "Apotampkin." It can be spelled either way. ″The monstrous Apotamkin is often misidentified as a "vampire" by non-Native Americans (particularly since its name was glimpsed in one of the recent "Twilight" movies.) But in actual Maliseet and Passamaquoddy legends, this creature has nothing to do with vampires — the Apotamkin is a giant fanged sea serpent that lurks in the Passamaquoddy Bay and drags people, especially incautious children, into the water and eats them. It is said to have long red hair, and in some stories was once a human woman who was transformed into a serpent.)″〔http://www.native-languages.org/apotamkin.htm〕 ==References==
