History Main / BigfootSasquatchAndYeti

* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' has a scene where the banished heroes meet their fellow exile, now known as the Abominable Snowman in Nepal. There's an offhand reference to Bigfoot, who was supposedly friends with the Yeti in the past, and was also banished (basically implying that [[AllMythsAreTrue every monster myth originated from the monster dimension]]). [[StockNessMonster Nessie]] is mentioned as being an exiled monster as well. [[spoiler:The spinoff series ''WesternAnimation/MonstersAtWork'' eventually reveals the Abominable Snowman was exiled for the same reason as Mike and Sulley -- [[HeKnowsTooMuch he inadvertently found evidence of Mr. Waternoose being involved with the creation of the Scream Extractor]]. After this is revealed, he's allowed to return to Monstropolis.]]

* According to the ''Franchise/BerniceSummerfield'' novel ''Down'', most of the sightings were caused by a 26th century neo-Nazi group, who genetically engineered "apemen" who "proved" their racist interpretation of evolution, and then sent them back in time to be "discovered".

** In the official licensed comic book, there was ''one'' Bigfoot story. Also, the infamous "Jose Chung's ''From Outer Space''" episode did feature Mulder watching the Patterson footage of an alleged female sasquatch.

* ''Series/{{Castle}}'': The season 5 episode "The Fast and the Furriest", in which evidence at a crime scene suggests that a murderous Bigfoot is stalking the streets of New York City. Castle is firmly convinced that Bigfoot ''is'' real, and ''is'' responsible (and Ryan agrees with him about Bigfoot being real), while Beckett and Esposito have their doubts. While Bigfoot's existence (or lack thereof) is never confirmed one way or the other, it IS ultimately cleared as a suspect in the murder.

* There have been countless bits of physical "evidence" towards these creatures' existence offered up over the decades, but this wiki is probably not the place to list or discuss them. However, since it has long supplied the iconic image in Bigfoot lore and media (see page image above), specific mention will be made of the "Patterson-Gimlin Film", shot in 1967 in northern California, which indisputably depicts either a Sasquatch or a human in a costume. The Other Wiki has a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterson%E2%80%93Gimlin_film rundown]] on the film's creation and the decades of controversy surrounding it.

* ''VideoGame/{{Bug}}'' has the fifth boss, an abominable snowbug. Other yetis appear in the fifth stage as hazards that would try to grab Bug and squeeze him like a toy.

** Yetis are also real within the universe of ''Futurama'', with at least three varieties: Himalayan, Neptunian, and Tritonian. Neptunian and Tritonian yetis have been seen onscreen; Himalayan yetis are mentioned by Zoidberg in "[[Recap/FuturamaS6E18TheTipOfTheZoidberg The Tip of the Zoidberg]]", before a possible one appears on-screen in "[[Recap/FuturamaS8E6IKnowWhatYouDidNextXmas I Know What You Did Next Xmas"]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer'', there was the Abominable Snow Monster, also known as Bumble, who was mean, nasty, hated everything to do with Christmas, was [[SuperDrowningSkills a notorious sinker]], and [[DisneyDeath capable of bouncing]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'': In Hanna-Barbera's 1975 reboot, an episode deals with the duo helping a lumberjack whose men have run off because of Bigfoot. When he's finally captured, Bigfoot turns out to be a shrimpy fellow with really big feet.

Tall hairy humanoids who maintain a furtive existence in various remote corners of the world. "Bigfoot" and "Sasquatch" are different names for essentially the same entity, whose (ahem) stomping grounds are mostly in the [[UsefulNotes/TheOtherRainforest northwestern corner]] of the United States and the southwestern corner of Canada, with sightings also reported in the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains. The "Yeti" or "Abominable Snowman" is a variety found high in the [[TheShangriLa Himalayan Mountains]], commonly depicted (whether due to associations with familiar Arctic animals like the polar bear, or just the "snowman" association) with white fur in fiction, although the local legends described it with red to brown hair.[[note]]Ironically, Bigfeet have been reported to have white fur, particularly in one sighting in Pennsylvania.[[/note]] Other lesser-known varieties turn up in world-wide folklore and history under an assortment of names, such as the "woodwose" or "wild men" of Europe (though those guys share some traits with FaunsAndSatyrs too), the "[[YowiesAndBunyipsAndDropBearsOhMy Yowies]]" of Australia, the Almas of Russia and Mongolia, the Yeren of China, the Hibagon of Japan, the "người rừng" of Southeast Asia, the Kakundak of Africa, or the "Skunk Ape" which dwells in the swamps of the [[DeepSouth southeastern]] United States.

* ''VideoGame/NetHack'' has both Sasquatch and Yeti. Due to them being bigfeet, they deal more damage by kicking should the player turn into one.

%%* ''Film/NightClaws'' pits the Sasquatch against Creator/RebBrown.

This was made all the funnier by the fact that in the Futuramaverse, Bigfoot is considered a silly superstition. It's surreal when you see robots, mutants, and aliens scoff at the idea of a bigfoot. The Omicron Persei VIII aliens Lrrr and Ndnd later [[{{Squick}} get off]] on said beast's existence and have mad, passionate sex ''right in front of him'', to which Bigfoot nods approvingly before walking off.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yeti_2.jpg]]

Tall hairy humanoids who maintain a furtive existence in various remote corners of the world. "Bigfoot" and "Sasquatch" are different names for essentially the same entity, whose (ahem) stomping grounds are mostly in the [[UsefulNotes/TheOtherRainforest northwestern corner]] of the United States and the southwestern corner of Canada, with sightings also reported in the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains. The "Yeti" or "Abominable Snowman" is a variety found high in the [[TheShangriLa Himalayan Mountains]], commonly depicted (whether due to associations with familiar Arctic animals like the polar bear, or just the "snowman" association) with white fur in fiction, although the local legends described it with red to brown hair.[[note]]Ironically, Bigfeet have been reported to have white fur, particularly in one sighting in Pennsylvania.[[/note]] Other lesser known varieties turn up in world-wide folklore and history under an assortment of names, such as the "woodwose" or "wild men" of Europe (though those guys share some traits with FaunsAndSatyrs too), the "[[YowiesAndBunyipsAndDropBearsOhMy Yowies]]" of Australia, the Almas of Russia and Mongolia, the Yeren of China, the Hibagon of Japan, the "người rừng" of Southeast Asia, the Kakundak of Africa, or the "Skunk Ape" which dwells in the swamps of the [[DeepSouth southeastern]] United States.

Common characteristics are said to include an extreme [[BigHeartedBigfoot shyness and lack of aggression towards humans]] (though reports and accounts of [[KillerGorilla extraordinarily hostile encounters]] do exist, particularly with yetis), emitting horrible odours and unearthly noises, and of course scattering large footprints about as they [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} frolic in out-of-focus areas]]. Most scientific authorities regard these creatures as either [[UrbanLegends entirely imaginary]] or the fabrications of human pranksters, but like [[StockNessMonster lake monsters]] and the {{Chupacabra}} and ''unlike'' explicitly legendary creatures such as the {{Wendigo}} or TheJerseyDevil (and also unlike tongue-in-cheek folktales in the vein of {{fearsome critters|OfAmericanFolklore}} and [[YowiesAndBunyipsAndDropBearsOhMy drop bears]]), BS&Y have devout believers in their existence. Often speculated to be akin to large, herbivorous hominids such as ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfoot#Gigantopithecus Gigantopithecus]]'', or hominins even more closely related to ''us'', such as Neanderthals and ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranthropus Paranthropus]]''. More information on Bigfoot can be found at the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfoot Other Wiki]].

* ''Film/TheLegendOfBoggyCreek'' is a documentary-style film that shows various dramatized events of people meeting a bigfoot-like Fouke Monster in Arkansas.

* Creator/IsaacAsimov’s 1953 story ''Everest'': the first man in reaching the Everest summit discovers that the yetis are actually Martians and that they can’t live in higher temperatures (as Mars is really ''really'' cold) so they have an outpost in the only place on Earth they can survive.

* A mockumentary by the Creator/DiscoveryChannel which was a SpiritualSuccessor to both ''Film/MermaidsTheBodyFound'' and ''Film/MegalodonTheMonsterSharkLives'' titled “Russian Yeti: The Killer Lives” (narrated by Creator/KevinConroy) speculates that the nine hikers of the infamous [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyatlov_Pass_incident Dyatlov Pass incident]] ran afoul of an aggressive yeti.

* ''Series/MonsterWarriors'': In "Terror in the North Woods", Mayor Mel disappears and the gang searches for him in the woods outside Capital City, where they discover the Bigfoot “hoax” might not be a hoax at all.

* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'' introduces Sasquatch in the "Undead Nightmare" expansion, including a special mission to hunt them. [[spoiler:The last one talks to you, [[WhatTheHellHero bawling you out for killing his peaceful vegetarian brethren]], leaving him the LastOfHisKind. Afterwards, you can choose to let him go or shoot him as you wish.]] Given a CallBack in [[VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2 the second game]], where you can find a skeleton that’s heavily implied to belong to Bigfoot as an EasterEgg.

* ''VideoGame/{{Spelunky}}'' features [[DemonicSpiders yetis who can chain-throw you to death easily]], and occasionally a Boss Yeti whose roar [[MakeMeWannaShout causes]] chunks of ice to fall [[TapOnTheHead from the ceiling]].
