You're correct, it would make you all better prepared.
[Strap in, my man.]
The tuunbaq appeared when a scouting party of ours inadvertently injured a wandering Netsilik man near the edge of King William Island - the closest landmass to where we are currently trapped. First Lieutenant Gore of Erebus was killed by the unknown creature, which was mistaken for a large white bear. Our own Doctor Goodsir tried to save the Netsilik man, but he died aboard Erebus and left behind his traveling companion, who we named Lady Silence.
We eventually learned from Lady Silence that the creature was called a tuunbaq - which granted is just a close English approximation to her description - but not before it killed the leader of our expedition and maimed a handful of men. This creature continued to attack us, picking off men sometimes one-by-one, sometimes in groups, leaving some incredibly injured and leaving the bodies of others in bits and pieces for us to find.
This is why I say it is vengeful, and exceptionally dangerous.
