Cryptid Aesthetics [2/?]: Bigfoot/Sasquatch

Supposedly a simian-like creature that inhabits forests, the term "sasquatch" is an Anglicized derivative of the Halkomelem word "sásq'ets".  "Wild men" stories found among the Pacific Northwest coastal Indian tribes can be confidently related to Bigfoot and correspond to the areas where white Americans have reported sightings.  Similar accounts and legends are found on every continent except Antarctica.

Individuals claiming to have seen Bigfoot describe it as a large, hairy, muscular, bipedal ape-like creature, roughly 6–9 feet tall, and covered in hair described as black, dark brown, or dark reddish.  Some descriptions include details such as large eyes, a pronounced brow ridge, and a large, low-set forehead.  The top of the head has been described as rounded and crested, similar to the sagittal crest of the male gorilla.  The creature has been reported as having a strong, unpleasant smell.

The enormous footprints for which the creature is named are claimed to be as large as 24 inches long and 8 inches wide.  Some footprint casts have also contained claw marks.

Proponents of Bigfoot's existence claim that the creature is omnivorous and mainly nocturnal.
