The Shunka Warak'in ("Carries Off Dogs" in the Ioway language) is a cryptid from the North American Great Plains.

It resembles a hyena, a wolf, or a combination of both. The fur color has been reported to be black or dark red.

While the Shunka Warak'in might be based on a real animal, it is also associated with evil spirits such as skinwalkers.
