Malsumis

Malsumis, Evil twin of Gluskab

Malsumis is the evil brother of Gluskab, who was created form the dust of the creation of man. While he and Gluskab both had the power to do good, Malsumis used his power for evil and trickery, like putting thorns on plants, or giving insects thier sting. While Gluskab protects man, Malsumis uses his power to plot the end of man to this very day.
