Photographs have been posted online appearing to show a foot-long creature with a large head, a mouth like a warthog and a rat-like tail.
It was found, reported the Toronto Sun, by a pair of dog walker near the small community of Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug.
The dog pulled it from a creek on the bay, according to the paper.
Darryl Sainnawap, a local councillor, said he thought it was a rare animal which was found very sporadically.
He said a relative had found one in the 1950s.
"It's very rare. It lives in creeks and swampy areas and is said to feed on beavers," he told the paper.
"My great-uncle was told by his grandfather that a sighting of the omagimaakos is an omen that bad things will happen,” Sainnawap said.
“So we'll have to see about that."
Scientists wishing to authenticate the find will be disappointed to hear that the body of the creature has since been washed away.

It's not the first time i've seen some hairless mammal pulled out of a river for the newspapers to go crazy, even the local "experts" are stunned, and no one thinks it's just a regular animal without hair
