The ''other'' [[The Greys|UFO]]: [[Fun Withwith Acronyms|Unidentifiable Furry Organisms.]]

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 [[Incredibly Lame Pun|stomping grounds(ahem)]] are mostly in the [[The Other Rainforest|northwestern corner]] of the United States and the southwestern corner of Canada. The "Yeti" or "Abominable Snowman" is a variety found high in the [[ShamgriShangri La|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. Other lesser known varieties turn up in world-wide folklore and history under an assortment of names, such as the "Skunk Ape" of the swamps of the ''[[Deep South|southeastern]]'' United States.

Common characteristics are said to include an extreme [[Gentle Giant|shyness towards humans]], emitting horrible odors and unearthly noises, and of course scattering large footprints about as they frolic in out-of-focus areas. Most scientific authorities regard these creatures as either [[Urban Legends|entirely imaginary]] or the fabrications of human pranksters, but like [[Stock Ness Monster|lake monsters]] and the [[Chupacabra]] and ''unlike'' "out-and-out" fictional species such as the [[Wendigo]] or [[The Jersey Devil]], BS&Ythis havefurry trifecta has devout believers in their existence. Often speculated to be akin to large, herbivorous hominids such as [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfoot#Gigantopithecus |Gigantopithecus]. More information on Bigfoot can be found at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfoot Other Wiki].

{{quote| "Listen to the Yeti! Kellog's Pop-Tarts! You can freeze 'em, then eat 'em!"}}

* Also the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vz2nxdM0qc Tab Clear ad], in which the Sasquatch is revealed to be [[World War OneI|Kaiser Wilhelm II]], fallen from his zeppelin into the mud of Oregon. Suddenly everything is clear...

* A brand of iced coffee used Bigfoot for advertisements on TV and radio. One such ad mentioned that most witnesses saw Bigfoot between the hours of midnight to 3 am -- eitheram—either because Bigfoot was raiding store fridges at night looking for iced coffee, or because most of the witnesses were drunk.

* ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMfz3aCaGKo Kokanee]'' beer commercials used to feature the sasquatch as a mascot.

* In ''[[Ranma ½ (Manga)|Ranma One Half]]'' the character of Pantyhose Tarou fell into the magic Spring of the "Drowned Yeti, Riding a Bull and Carrying a Crane and an Eel" (don't ask us how ''that'' happened). It resulted in his transformation essentially being a shaggy [[A Load of Bull|Minotaur]] with an eel for a tail and crane wings. Later, he splashed water from the Spring of Drowned Octopus (again, don't ask us!) across his back and gained [[Combat Tentacles]].

== [[ComicsComic Books]] ==

* ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/Tintin in Tibet|Tintin in Tibet]]'' features a Yeti. He [[A Boy and His X|befriends Tintin's friend Chang]] after a tragic airplane accident in the Himalayas prompts Tintin to [[Send in Thethe Search Team]].

** Originally, he was a scientist who got hit by gamma radiation, just like the [[Incredible Hulk (Comic Book)|Incredible Hulk]], but got orange fur instead of green skin. A [[Doing inIn Thethe Scientist|later retcon]] said he had inadvertently opened a gateway to the Realm of Great Beasts, giving him the power of a (fictional) First Nations demon.

* ''[[Proof]]'' is a comic book series about a Bigfoot paranormal investigator that is very similar to ''[[Hellboy (Comic Bookcomics)|Hellboy]]''.

* In an issue of the Archie ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures (Comic Book)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures]]'' series, a{{spoiler|n assumed-to-be-}}malevolent alien force is causing the famous legendary creatures of the world to vanish; among them are the yeti ''and'' the sasquatch.

== [[FanficFan Works]] ==

* A Yeti attacks Socrates and Stupendous Man in one episode of [[Script Fic]] ''[[Calvin and Hobbes The Series (Fanfic)|Calvin and Hobbes: The Series]]''.

* The Yeti is one of the ''[[Seven7 Faces of Dr. Lao]]''; among his jobs are pounding in circus-tent pegs and playing a steam organ.

* ''[[Harry and Thethe Hendersons]]'' is about an American family who hits a Sasquatch with their car and brings him home. It was later a short-lived TV series.

* Several movies made for the [[Sci Fi ChannelSyfy]] center around Sasquatches, usually turning the creature into a bloodthirsty killer.

** Of note is ''Abominable'', a.k.a. ''[[Rear Window]]'' with [[Recycled in Space|ABOMINABLE SNOWMEN]]!

* [[The Cinema Snob (Web Video)|The Cinema Snob]] once reviewed a film called ''The Geek'', which was a bigfoot... porn. Why yes, it was made in [[The Seventies]], why do you ask?

{{quote| '''Max:''' Dad, IT'S BIGFOOT!!!<br />

* ''[[Clawed: theThe Legend of Sasquatch]]'' features a [[Noble Demon]] sasquatchSasquatch.

* ''[[Lamb: theThe Gospel According To Biff (Literature)|Lamb]]'' features a Yeti who is the [[Last of His Kind]].

** In the [[Discworld (Literature)|Discworld]] novel ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Thief of Time|Thief of Time]]'', our heroes encounter a yeti. It's a kind of [[All Trolls Are Different|troll]], with thick fur. Since trolls are made of rock, this is hinted to be the insulating material stone-wool. Yetis are hunted for their huge feet and hands, and as a result, they evolved the ability to save their progress to load it should they die, which the met yeti demonstrates by being beheaded. {{spoiler|Lu-Tze successfully uses the ability later in the book.}} To date, they went extinct thrice.

** Yetis also appear in ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Moving Pictures|Moving Pictures]]'', where they lie down in the snow (camouflaged by their fur) and jump out at travellers. If the ones that encounter the thousand elephants making their way across the mountains have the [[Reset Button]] ability, it doesn't get mentioned. Maybe they were overwhelmed by the awesomeness of the scene.

* ''[[The Dresden Files]]'': (Literature)|Harry Dresden]] encounters Yeti-like creatures in ''Proven Guilty'' after storming Arctis Tor.

* ''The Aquiliad'' by S.P. Somtow is a '''''wacky''''' [[Alternate History]] in which [[The Roman Empire]] has [[Schizo -Tech|developed steamships]] and is now exploring and settling Terra Nova (i.e., North America). Where the narrator finds the Sasquatii, or, as the scholars put it in proper Greek, the Megapodes -- whoMegapodes—who greet the Romans with, "Shalom." Yes, the Sasquatii are descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel, kidnapped and mutated by a [[Time Travel|Time Traveling]]ing [[Mad Scientist]] ... and it goes on to get even weirder.

* The Yetis of the ''[[Harry Potter (Literaturenovel)|Harry Potter]]'' universe are given an entry in ''[[Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them (Literature)|Fantastic Beasts and Where Toto Find Them]]''. They're said to grow close to fifteen feet tall, have snow white fur, eat anything it comes across, live in Tibet, fear fire, and possibly are related to Trolls (Though no one has gotten close enough to one to actually study it).

* In the [[Robert E. Howard]] story "Three Bladed Doom", the hero, El Borak, encounters and kills a yeti. Weirdly it's both a kill-crazy monster ''and'' a vegetarian. Also [[Conan the Barbarian]] has a couple of encounters with "grey apes" that are identical to the yeti in "Three Bladed Doom".

* The Icemen of the ''[[Codex Alera (Literature)|Codex Alera]]'' are not Yetis, but are largely analogous to them, being furry, bulky, apelike humanoids who live in the far north and all. They're not normally aggressive, but they ''are'' powerfully empathic- picking up on humans' initial wariness of them and transmitting it back magnified ended up resulting in centuries of literally meaningless war between the two races {{spoiler|until Isana, herself [[The Empath]], managed to get things ironed out}}.

* One of the stories in ''[[Haunted 2005(Palahniuk (Literaturenovel)|Haunted 2005]]'', by [[Chuck Palahniuk]], is titled "Missing Link" and postulates that these creatures are actually humans with an odd genetic quirk causing were-creature-style transformation. The teller of this story belongs to a fictitious Native American tribe in which this trait is allegedly quite common, including a supposed case in the teller's own family.

== [[Live -Action TV]] ==

*** Likely the inspiration for ''[[The Venture Brothers (Animation)|The Venture Brothers]]'' episode below.

* In ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', the second Doctor has dealt with robots disguised as Yeti. (As well as, briefly, a real Yeti.)

* ''[[Eerie, Indiana]]'': Marshall Teller often spots Bigfoot rooting around in his trash.

* ''[[Harry and Thethe Hendersons]]'' TV series mentioned above

* In perhaps the ultimate aversion of this trope, ''[[The X-Files (TV)|The X-Files]]'' -- a—a show which incorporated everything from human-alien hybrids to demonic possession to half-human half-tapeworms, ''and was filmed for half its run in Vancouver'' -- ''never once'' did an episode on Bigfoot.

* In ''[[The Invisible Man (TV series)|The Invisible Man]]'', the invisibility gland was taken from the Sasquatch who had developed it in order to hide in the forest of America. To be fair, the main character was pretty shocked at this revelation as well. He was even more shocked when they informed him that the gland was from a female, which is why the MALE Sasquatch in the episode was so...affectionate.

* In ''[[The Mighty Boosh]]'', there is a tribe of female yeti that live in the woods in England. The episode's plotline is just a [[Distaff Counterpart]] version of the original yeti myth.

* Bigfoot and other North American fuzzy walkers appear in several episodes of ''[[Lost Tapes]]''.

* ''[[The Goodies (TV)|The Goodies]]'' did an episode spoofing [[Arthur C. Clarke (Creator)]]'s ''Mysterious World''. Tim Brooke-Taylor & Co go into the Canadian Rockies in search of mysterious creatures, only to find that Graham Garden is faking their existence (including the inevitable spoof on the Patterson-Gimlin Film, which is given away by the zipper that Graham has to undo to take a piss). Eventually one of Tim's feet swells up to enormous size due to him constantly walking around steep slopes, and he has to flee into the wild (wearing a furry coat to keep himself warm) to prevent everyone who sees him [[Die Laughing|laughing themselves to death]] over the sight of his Big Foot.

* Humourously averted in ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]''. While the existence of many supernatural and paranormal creatures is never questioned, Bigfoot is stated outright to be a legend. In the one episode where they start to suspect they've found Bigfoot it actually turns out to be a giant Teddy Bear created by a cursed wishing well.

* An episode of the HBO ''[[Tenacious D (Music)|Tenacious D]]'' show has the guys meet and sing a song about Sasquatch, which references the episode of ''In Search Of'' featuring him. They try to bring him on as their drummer, but he's terrible, so they let him down gently, telling him that they're not ready to be a "power trio." John C. Reilly plays the Sasquatch.

* The [[Jonathan Coulton (Music)|Jonathan Coulton]] song "Under the Pines."

* [[Tenacious D (Music)|Tenacious D]]'s "Sasquatch."

* In the (animated) video for [["Weird Al" Yankovic (Music)|Weird Al Yankovic]]'s song2011 pop-hit medley "Polka Face", the members of his back-up band are all yetis.

This hasn't stopped one of them from developing a taste for cigars rolled from Cuban tobacco, though.}}

* Sasquatches appear in ''[[Rifts (Tabletop Game)|Rifts]] Canada'', as a peaceful native race that prefers to live in harmony with nature. Some of them journey into the world of men (and thus, like a great majority of species' in the game world, are available as Player Characters). There is also a magical Spirit Sasquatch, and the [[Wendigo]], which [[Our Monsters Are Different|in this case]] is a demonic Sasquatch-like monster.

* A pair of peaceful Yeti are characters in ''[[The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]''.

* A yeti-like creature called Abomasnow makes an appearance in ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (Video Game)|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]''. Actually, he's an animated Evergreen tree.

* The first game in the ''[[Ben Jordan: Paranormal Investigator]]'' series evolves around finding the Skunk Ape in the Everglades.

* The ''[[Pokémon (Franchise)|Pokémon]]'' [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Snover Snover] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Abomasnow especially] '''Aboma'''snow are arguably based on the Yeti, with a dose of being [[When Trees Attack|pine trees]].

* Some of the enemies in the video game version of Disney's ''[[Atlantis: theThe Lost Empire (Disney)|Atlantis the Lost Empire]]'' appear to be snowball-throwing Yetis.

* ''[[Bug! (Video Game)|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.

* ''[[Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magick Obscura (Video Game)|Arcanum ofOf Steamworks and Magick Obscura]]'' has "the Stillwater Giant" which is basically the same thing, down to an obviously hoaxed pelt on display in Tarant.

* ''[[Alpiner (Video Game)|Alpiner]]'' has the Abominable Snowman as the final obstacle before reaching the top of Mt. Everest; strangely enough, it's on skis. You just need to dodge it.

* ''[[War CraftWarcraft]]'' uses Sasquatch as neutral hostile monsters, here represented as horned bipedal beasts. Their snowy-climate equivalents are not Yeti but [[Wendigo]].

* ''[[Castlevania Order of Ecclesia (Video Game)|Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia]]'' has a Yeti (looking like the Patterson footage) wandering around in the Tymeo Mountains. If it's on-screen more than two seconds, it [[No Fourth Wall|realizes the player's looking at it]] and runs away. One sidequest is to photograph it.

* ''[[Titan Quest]]'' has yetis as regular monsters and one boss yeti with various [[Kill It Withwith Ice|cold attacks]]. The game also has Yerens, the Chinese version of Bigfoot

* Mr. Yin from [[Stubble Trouble (Webcomic)|Stubble Trouble]] is a skunk ape who owns a [http://rennon-the-shaved.deviantart.com/art/Stubble-Trouble-207-257321348 bowling alley.]

* Number 1000 of the [[SCP Foundation (Wiki)|SCP Foundation]] is bigfoot, though the species is presented a bit differently from how it normally is, {{spoiler|being the survivors of the once-dominant species that we overthrew.}}

* One episode of ''[[Phineas and Ferb (Animation)|Phineas and Ferb]]'' has a bored Candace and her grandparents (and her grandmother's crazy twin sister who [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|lives in a closet]]) pretending to be Bigfoot to scare her brothers. It works. And then the monster is revealed to be Grandpa and all is good. ''Or is it?''

* Bigfoot appears in an episode of ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]''; the episode ends with a parody/homage to the Patterson film mentioned above. 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.

* ''[[Monsters, Inc. (Animation)|Monsters Inc.]]'' has a scene where the banished heroes meet their fellow exile, now known as the <s> Adorable</s> <s> Agreeable</s> 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 [[All Myths Are True|every monster myth originated from the monster dimension]]). Nessie is mentioned as being an exiled monster as well.

* ''[[Jonny Quest (Animation)|Jonny Quest]]'' TOS episode "Monster in the Monastery". A group of Yeti threatening a small village turn out to be enemy agents in costumes. At the end of the episode all of the agents are found dead, killed by a real Yeti.

** ''[[Jonny Quest: theThe Real Adventures (Animation)|Jonny Quest the Real Adventures]]'' had Yeti who turned out to be Neanderthals in a Monastery (a knowing throwback to the original).

* The Abominable Snow Monster/Bumble from ''[[Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Animation)|Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer]]''.

** An episode of ''[[Goof Troop (Animation)|Goof Troop]]'' has Goofy and Pete encountering an unusual depiction of Bigfoot which has antlers. Made more unusual by the fact that it's female.

* A Sasquatch is among the jury-members putting [[Humanity Onon Trial]] in an episode of ''[[Captain Planet and The Planeteers (Animation)|Captain Planet and Thethe Planeteers]]''.

* Classic ''[[Looney Tunes (Animation)|Looney Tunes]]'' shorts would sometimes star the Abominable Snowman, a hulking furry giant who would "adopt" fuzzy animals like [[Bugs Bunny]] and literally smother them with adoration. He would always call his new pet "[[And Call Him George|George]]." (This is a [[Shout -Out]] to the origin of the character: Lon Chaney Jr.'s portrayal of Lennie in ''[[Of Mice and Men (Literature)|Of Mice and Men]]''.)

* ''[[Roswell Conspiracies: (Animation)|RoswellAliens, ConspiraciesMyths and Legend]]'' is a show which posits that most of the monsters of human myth are actually different species of aliens living in the hidden corners of the Earth. The Yeti are portrayed as one of the more benevolent groups. Their leader is named Tiyet.

* ''[[The Backyardigans (Animation)|The Backyardigans]]'' had two Yetis in different episodes: Pablo in the appropriatedly-named episode "The Yeti" (Although he looked more like himself wearing white winter gear) and Tyrone in "Fly Girl" (Which looks more like a Yeti than Pablo did).

* ''[[The Angry Beavers (Animation)|The Angry Beavers]]'' Daggett was taught in the art of stealth by "Big Buttocks". {{spoiler|He was really a big hairy, '''naked''' Canadian}}.

* ''[[The Secret Saturdays (Animation)|The Secret Saturdays]]''' Fiskerton is described as a "cat-gorilla", but he looks like pure Bigfoot.

* ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Animation)|Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' has an episode where Master Shake moves in with Dirtfoot, basically Bigfoot with one big eye and one big foot.

* In ''[[The Venture Brothers (Animation)|The Venture Brothers]]'' the [[The Six Million Dollar Man|Bionic Man]] has fled into the forest and falls in love with Sasquatch. he and Brock shave Sasquatch to get past an Army road block, passing him off as a landmine victim. Another soldier arrives too late to accurately identify him as a shaved Sasquatch. In a later episode Brock stays for a while at their house.

* ''[[X-Men: Evolution (Animation)|X-Men Evolution]]'' implies that Sabretooth impersonates Bigfoot from time to time. Hey, you're a seven-foot tall shaggy guy with teeth and claws, what else could you be?

* Sasquatch showed up in an episode of ''[[Nightmare Ned]]'', where he convinces the Tooth Fairy to let Ned try [[Chess Withwith Death]] for his teeth.

* Nickelodeon's ''[[Ka BlamKaBlam! (Animation)|Ka Blam]]!'' has Mr. B. Foot, a stage hand who just happens to be a sasquatch. He spends most of his time lounging around on the job and beating up [[Butt Monkey|Henry]]. Although he'll [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl|never hurt June.]]

* Skips from ''[[Regular Show (Animation)|Regular Show]]'' is a Yeti, and one of the few sensible characters on the show.

* On ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'', Homer is mistaken for Bigfoot after stumbling around a forest covered in mud and ranting incoherently. To add insult to injury, after he's captured, scientists are unable to determine whether he is "a below-average human or a brilliant beast."

* "Hairy Manilow" from ''[[House of Mouse (Animation)|House of Mouse]]''.

* Although no actual sasquatch is seen on ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (Animation)|The Grim Adventures of Billy and& Mandy]]'', both Billy and Hoss Delgado are mistaken for one when they get covered with super-hair-growth potion, and Billy's mother implies that she's had an affair with one.

* An episode of ''[[Arthur (Animationanimation)|Arthur]]'' featured a ''[[DextersDexter's Laboratory (Animation)|Dexters Laboratory]]''-esque sequence (featuring Alan "The Brain" Powers as Dexter and Arthur Read as Dee Dee) involving Arthur tampering with one of Alan's experiments, resulting in him turning into a sasquatch. He is then later seen running away into a nearby forest where he then sees ''the actual'' sasquatch.

* Lila from ''[[The Life and Times of Juniper Lee (Animation)|The Life and Times of Juniper Lee]]'' is a [[Cute Monster Girl|Cute Sasquatch Girl]]

* Snow Man from the original ''[[Thundercats (Animation)|Thundercats]]''

* One episode of ''[[Battle Force 5]]'' has the five enter a [[Slippy -Slidey Ice World|Arctic Zone]]. They encounter a giant Abominable Snowman similar to a white King Kong.

* The National Exaggerator from ''[[A Pup Named Scooby Doo (Animation)|A Pup Named Scooby -Doo]]'' apparently kept Bigfoot, as well as his cousin Bighands, on staff!

* Shows up quite often on ''[[Scooby -Doo (Animationanimation)|Scooby Doo]]'', naturally. [[Scooby -Doo Hoax|Or at least, people pretending to be Bigfoots/Yetis.]]

* When Peter drives into the TV satellite dish on ''[[Family Guy (Animation)|Family Guy]]'', he tells the angry mob [[Look Behind You!]] because he saw Bigfoot. Bigfoot then explains this is about Peter, not himself.

** Starting in the early 2000's a man named Phillip Morris came out as saying he was involved in the creation of a gorilla suit and communicating with Patterson as to how to broaden the shoulders and extend the length of the arms. Bob Heironimus who can be seen in the second part of the reel accompanying the documentarians would later claim that he was paid $1000 to wear such a suit and that he was the creature in the film. The involvement of Ray Wallace, the well known Bigfoot hoaxist has also been corroborated by his family after his death. [[The Other Wiki]] has more http[[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterson-Gimlin_filmGimlin film|information]].

* The ''[[Weekly World News (Magazine)|Weekly World News]]'' was a supermarket tabloid which often ran Bigfoot stories.

* Some apes, such as gorillas, were known to Europeans only as legends of "hairy wild men" until "properly" discovered.

** Interestingly, the word "gorilla" first time appears in the writings of Carthaginian explorer Hanno, in an area that doesn't seem to have ever had any great apes. Some historians believe that Hanno and his men mistakenly [[Squick|killed and skinned some pygmies]] they thought to match the description.

** It is speculated that ancient humans may have discovered or encountered such remains, just like the ancient Greeks misinterpreted elephant skulls for Cyclops. (Northern European [[OurAll Trolls Are All Different|Troll]] legends may be based on similar prehistoric encounters, which didn't end well for the [[All Cavemen Were Neanderthals|Neanderthals]]).
