The Apotamkin is a demon or eternal creature that drinks the blood of humans. It supposedly lives in the dark, as in deep caves.

This creature is unlike most other vampire folklore because it is exclusive to the Native American people. The creature is hairy with long fangs, and some consider it to be the Native American version of a vampire. This myth is used to instill fear into children from venturing into areas alone and without parental guidance.

According to the book Vampire Universe by Jonathan Maberry, the Apotamkin is a legend of the Maliseet-Passamaquoddy tribe.

There is only a fictional (Twilight) association of the Apotamkin with the Quileute tribe, whose histories say they are descended from wolves.
