Sasquatch

In taverns all around the world, there are stories, songs, and rumours of ape-like humanoids that lurk in the woods or in deep tundra. Most often regarded as a popular folk story, the legend of the sasquatch has endured the test of time.

The sasquatch are so reclusive that drunken stories and ill-founded conspiracies are all that are known. Who is to say which, if any, are true?

Sasquatch? In MY setting? If you are interested in including sasquatch in your setting, consider how best they would fit. Here are some ideas as to their origin, but feel free to come up with anything on your own. Are sasquatch... • Natives of the feywild? • Spiritual protectors of nature? • Beasts of the night that ambush travelers? • An early branch of humankind that escaped extinction by hiding? • Apes awakened to serve a specific purpouse? • Advanced primates keeping tabs on the world for some unknown reason?
