I am looking for the name of rare eskimo metal disease. They are thinking that they are some kind of monster. It appears with hunger in extreme cold enviroment.

Maybe it might be Wendigo. Here is some info on that.
The Wendigo is a monster who comes from the coldest place. He is composed of mud and ice. A cannibal, he will devour anything in his path, including another Wendigo. His mouth is lined with jagged teeth and he is magic, able to change form at will. One warrior defeated a Wendigo by changing himself into a giant dog.
In the northern part of Canada missing persons have been considered victims of the Wendigo and have been reported so in newspapers. There is also a psychological condition peculiar to the Algonquin people called “Wendigo Psychosis” in which the victim begins to crave human flesh. This condition has been used in courts of law as part of the defense of a person

Windigo is the name you are looking for. It’s an Eskimo myth about warriors who meet “starving, cannabalistic monsters…!” The Windigo usually eats its prey (man) but on occasion will instead take possession of a warrior, turn him into a Windigo and return to his family and friends to prey upon them all!
