Bigfoot

Bigfoot is a general term used by cryptozoologists to describe huge, bipedal, simmian cryptids. Various kinds of "Bigfoot" can be found all over the world but the term is most often used in reference to the first such cryptid to be named : the sasquatch of north america.

The sasquatch can supposedly be found in most of Canada and the USA, with new sightings reported every years.

## Taxonomy

The sasquatch is a primate, more specifically a great ape. It is debatale whether it is a hominoid, like chimpanzees and gorillas (and thus a likely descendant of the prehistoric Gigantopithecus) that convergently evolved bipedy or a hominid, like humans, which would have become bigger and more gorilla-like to accomodate a more herbivorous diet, like extinct hominid Paranthropus boisei.

## Appearance

A sasquatch greatly resemble a gorilla at first glance, the two major distinction being its much greater size, reaching up to 10 feet (3 meters) tall (twice the size of a silverback gorilla), and of course the fact that, as an obligatory biped the sasquatch stands and walks on two legs.

## Behaviour

It's unclear whether sasquatches are social creatures, living in small familly units like gorillas, or solitary animals, like orangutans, as various sightings and theories support either interpretation. In order to provide fair 1vs1 battles Crypto X Ing assumes the sasquatch to be solitary.

Sasquatches's diet is similarly unclear : while most primates are omnivorous, suggesting the same is true of sasquatches, great size in primates typically correlate with herbivory as shown with gorillas and multiple extinct primates, suggesting sasquatches could be herbivorous. For what it's worth there are recorded sightings of a sasquatch eating meat.

Despite their great size sasquatches are notoriously fearfull of humans, hiding and avoiding interactions when possible. Like other big primates they are generally peacefull and prefer to scare of potential threat through bluff charges and intimidation tactics, reserving violence as a last resort.

## Characteristics

* Strength : sasquatches are immensely strong, their strength is estimated to be at least 10 times that of a human and possibly up to 20 times that of a human, making them stronger than many supernatural creatures.
* Resiliense : thanks to its great size a sasquatch can survive trauma that would prove fatal to a smaller animal like a human, though it doesn't have any particular attribute that would increase survivability.
* Speed : sasquatches can run at speeds of 21 mph (34 kph), a more than respectable speed.
* Intelligence : sasquatches's intelligence rivals tat of great apes, allowing rudimentary tool use and advanced stealth tactics
* Stealth : despite their size sasqatches are very stealthy, able to escape human notice in many cases.

## Gear

* Throwing objects : sasquatches can use tree branches and rocks as improvised weapons both in mele and by trowing them at a range. Deppending on availability they're known to trow other object including very heavy ones such as 50 galons oil drums.

## Weaknesses

A sasquatch does not have any particular weakness other than the limits of its characteristcs
