In Wampanoag and Narragansett traditions, Hobomock was the manito (spirit) of death-- a destructive, often evil being usually
in opposition to Kautantowit. He was sometimes also referred
to as "Chipi," which means "ghost" in Wampanoag. After the introduction of Christianity,
Wampanoag and Narragansett people began to identify Hobbomock with the Devil .
