The wasgo (Haida: "sea wolf"[1]) is a sea serpent and lake monster in the belief of the Haida people of the Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia, Canada. Commonly depicted in Haida artwork as a combination of whale and wolf, it has been seen by some cryptozoologists as an ancient Haida expression of encounters with Cadborosaurus willsi, and has sometimes been synonymised with other Pacific Northwest sea serpents, such as the sisiutl, haietlik, palraiyuk, and tizheruk.[2][3] A wasgo was also said to live in Spirit Lake on Graham Island.[1]
