Sasquatch

Sasquatch without disguise

**Sasquatch** is the main protagonist of Sneaky Sasquatch. They live near the Campground and has many animal friends: Ducks, Bears, Raccoon, Fox, and Rabbit.

To sustain himself, Sasquatch must eat and sleep or they will fall unconscious. Sasquatch also has a Health meter which is depleted by being hit by vehicles, and can be restored in the Hospital.

Sasquatch currently can't talk, and communicates with gestures like nodding, shrugging, and shaking of the head.

Sasquatch can wear disguises to blend in with the humans. This allows them to participate in human activities, like golfing, racing, skiing, or even getting a bank account and an office job.

## Gender

There are some weak hints that Sasquatch is male:

* When Sasquatch is asked to choose a human name (while being hired into R Corp), the default name is Hank (a male name). However, this is only a default, and the player can change it to any other name: male, female, or otherwise.
* Delivery Dude addresses Sasquatch as "Mr. Sasquatch" (with a male honorific). However, Delivery Dude can't even recognize that Sasquatch isn't human, so his gender guess is unreliable.
* All Sasquatch's disguises include pants, and none of them includes skirts. However, all custom outfits that Sasquatch's friends can wear include only pants and no skirts too, while many of the friends are female.

As there's no other Sasquatches in the game, there's no way to know how different genders of their species look.

So, Sasquatch may be considered to have the gender which the player wants them to have.

### Pronouns

Sasquatch is referred to as "they" by Goon Jr (Storyline chapter 3 end) and by Sasquatch's friends (Storyline chapter 4 end). This is a strong hint that Sasquatch’s gender is supposed to be defined by the player’s imagination.

Sasquatch is referred to as "it" by Mr Pemberton (Storyline chapter 4 end), but Mr Pemberton obviously hates Sasquatch.

## Relationship with animals

Sasquatch is friends with most of the local animals, like Raccoon, Fox, Rabbit, several Bears and Ducks, and even the Talking Fish. Sasquatch understands their speech. However, the Dog can’t talk to Sasquatch or anyone else.

Sasquatch still eats meat and fish, though Bears and the Hungry Duck do the same.

## Relationship with humans

When Sasquatch wears a disguise, most humans take them for a human. Some still notice a strong body odor. This allows Sasquatch to participate in normal human activities, even being hired to several jobs.

When being hired into R Corp, Sasquatch chooses a human name, and will be known to humans under this name ever since. The default name is Hank. This name can be changed in Town Hall.

### Humans knowing or suspecting Sasquatch’s existence

#### Law enforcement

Rangers know of Sasquatch existence. Initially they allow Sasquatch to sneak in the safe zones in the forest, but chase Sasquatch after noticing them in the Campground and other human locations. After saving the park, Sasquatch becomes an honorable Ranger, and is allowed into the areas protected by rangers, as long as they wear a Ranger Outfit (or later a Police Outfit). As shown in the final scene of Storyline chapter 3, rangers can recognize Sasquatch even in a these disguises, but just tolerate them.

Police recognize Sasquatch in most disguises, When putting Sasquatch into jail, the Police change them into Prison Outfit, and refer to them as Sasquatch. However, they don’t recognize Sasquatch in Ranger or Police outfits, and even hire them into the force. Policeman Kowalski is assigned to deal with Sasquatch problem (while Sasquatch in disguise is being promoted to Detective). Police keeps Sasquatch portrait on the board in the briefing room (use Camera with zoom to see it better).

Island Ranger recognizes Sasquatch in any disguise, and refers to them as Sasquatch.

#### Friends

After Storyline chapter 4, Sasquatch’s friends know about Sasquatch real identity, and are not afraid of them, so Sasquatch doesn’t need to wear a disguise near them.

#### Others

As shown in the beginning of Storyline chapter 2, Mr Pemberton knows of Sasquatch’s existence, and that Sasquatch works against his plans of taking over the park land. However, he couldn’t recognize Sasquatch even when working and playing golf together. He and his son later try to expose Sasquatch to the whole Town.

According to the Museum exhibit, “Sasquatch is a mythological ape-like creature that is said to inhabit the forest. Scientists have yet to prove its existence, despite many sightings. Those who have encountered it say it has a powerful odor.”

The Editor in Chief of the Newspaper is sure of Sasquatch’s existence, and wants to prove it to others by publishing photos. However, the Editor couldn’t recognize Sasquatch in disguise, and hired Sasquatch themselves to take those photos. After becoming a friend, he must be aware of Sasquatch too.

Vandals in the Port sometimes draw Sasquatch’s face or texts like “Sasquatch is real”.

For most of the humans, Sasquatch stays an urban legend. It’s not known what percentage of the populace believes this legend.

During Halloween, there’s a competition for the best Sasquatch costume. Sasquatch can approach the merrymakers (those who are dressed in various costumes) without disguise, because they think they are a human wearing a Sasquatch costume. However, those not involved in festivities still raise the alarm.

The protagonist of Hurdle Jumper arcade game is a Sasquatch, though that doesn’t necessary mean that the developers of Hurdle Jumper thought Sasquatch was real.

## Notes

1. ↑ The default is "Hank".
2. ↑ Called such by Delivery Dude.
3. ↑ This somehow works while talking on the phone too. The Spaghetti Entrepreneur comments that he can recognize the sound of Sasquatch nodding or shaking the head.
