For Centuries, Unconfirmed sightings of hulking ape-men have plagued the isles. Some colonists want them dead, Some don’t even believe they exist. Small groups of humans and elves have become obsessed over discovering evidence of the so-called “Bigfoot”.
Detailed below is the full knowledge of the evasive Sasquatch species, detailed by the EHCSB (Elf-Human Coalition to Study Bigfoot)
Sasquatches, while commonly associated with the Yetis of the North, actually more closely resemble primates. Sasquatches are generally described as large hairy ape-like humanoids, ranging between 6-10 feet tall,hulking at weights up to 500 pounds, and are covered in dark brown or dark reddish hair, Some breeds even having bright white coats. They sport large eyes, a pronounced brow ridge, and a large, low-set forehead; the top of their head is rounded and crested.
Sasquatch society is very few and far between.There are only a handful of Sasquatch tribes. These tribes often contain a few hundred Sasquatches each. Sasquatch societies often exist in large cave systems, which Sasquatch make temporary homes out of, and dig deeper into as they populate the region. Though, Tribes do not stay in one system for more than a few months. It is not uncommon to come across massive abandoned Sasquatch homes, dug into the sides of mountains.
Sasquatch societies are very simple. There is no real roles or currency, as they exist in a flourishing hunter/gather system. Young Sasquatches are encouraged to seek fulfillment in their life, and that is all. This often leads to many ‘traveling’ periods in a Sasquatch’s life, in which they travel far distances, in journeys of self discovery. During these periods, Sasquatches push themselves out of their comfort zone, and will often join questing groups. Many Sasquatch heroes have songs devoted to them in their respected tribes. These songs consisting of rhythmic howls and grunts.
Sasquatches often mate for life, but do not hit sexual maturity until about 40. Their maturity and puberty is a very slow process, taking place over the course of 10 years or so. Sasquatches often travel with their mates, and even children, in small groups. Though, nearly all Sasquatches travel, they will always return home at some point.
Sasquatches do not concern themselves with the history of their own people. They often will tell grand stories of past Sasquatches, but in general, they keep no records of anything. Local tribes and mythology refer to the arrival of the “Sky people” in ancient history, who were described as “Huge, hairy travelers, who became stranded here.” Where they arrived from, and when they arrived is still a mystery.
Historically, Sasquatches do not let themselves be seen by humans or elves. They have immense distaste for their politics and sense of self, and typically avoiding them at all costs.
Almost all Sasquatches are given the choice of naming themselves, when they mature from infancy. In the meantime, babies are usually referred to Har (Child) until they choose a name for themselves. Most Sasquatch names are short, and primitive sounding, easy enough to yell through dense forest. They do not go by gender roles, and thus there are not really male or female names.
