Bigfoot

Bigfoot (sometimes called Sasquatch) is a North American cryptid, perhaps one of the most famous cryptids in the world. In GURPS terms, bigfoot is a large humanoid--usually SM+0, with the tallest being just tall enough for SM+1 at 9' tall--with powerful arms, fur, and usually a terrible odor. On average, bigfoot(s) seem to be about 8' tall.https://tawilsonbigfoot.com/bigfoot-estimated-height-charts/ 
As a cryptid, bigfoot is likely to have plenty of legends, so characters may need to use Cryptozoology (or find someone with the skill) to find accurate information on its territory, habits, etc.Conspiracy X, p.94
== Type Variations ==
Type 	Description
Sylvan Fae 	Perhaps bigfoot counts as a type of Sylvan Fae--lacking in magical abilities outside of great strength and uncanny stealth.Classic: Faerie, p.14
Nature is Healing 	In post-apocalyptic settings, Bigfoot could be a cryptid returning to its old haunts after mankind has mostly disappeared.Atomic Horror, p.98 See also, Living Fossils below.
Rebuilt Legend 	In sci-fi / post-apocalypse settings, perhaps bigfoot sightings are actually from genetically engineered "ape-men", developed before the Fall.
Living Fossils 	In Atomic-era stories, the "Bigfeet" are still out there. These "living fossils", are distant cousins of mankind, and might be found in the forests of North America or in caves and secret biomes underground.Atomic Horror, p.100 While bigfoot wasn't quite popular until the 1960s, Pulp adventures of the 20s-30s can still use the cryptid quite effectively.Cliffhangers, p.31
The Most Elaborate Hoax	In Transhuman Space, the Society of Applied Teratology has developed their own monsters, and have managed to plant "bigfoots" across the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
== False Positives ==
In the dark of the night and behind the brush of the forest, it can be easy to mistake an upright bear for a bigfoot--especially if one hasn't seen a bear walk like that before! In fact, any party that's looking to hunt (or more charitably, communicate with) a bigfoot should be ready to encounter a bear instead.
