Cryptid Aesthetics [2/?]: Bigfoot/Sasquatch
Supposedly a simian-like creature that inhabits forests, the term “sasquatch” is an Anglicized derivative of the Halkomelem word “sásq'ets”. “Wild men" stories found among the Pacific Northwest coastal Indian tribes can be confidently related to Bigfoot and correspond to the areas where white Americans have reported sightings. Similar accounts and legends are found on every continent except Antarctica.
Individuals claiming to have seen Bigfoot describe it as a large, hairy, muscular, bipedal ape-like creature, roughly 6–9 feet tall, and covered in hair described as black, dark brown, or dark reddish. Some descriptions include details such as large eyes, a pronounced brow ridge, and a large, low-set forehead. The top of the head has been described as rounded and crested, similar to the sagittal crest of the male gorilla. The creature has been reported as having a strong, unpleasant smell.
The enormous footprints for which the creature is named are claimed to be as large as 24 inches long and 8 inches wide. Some footprint casts have also contained claw marks.
Proponents of Bigfoot’s existence claim that the creature is omnivorous and mainly nocturnal.

The Woodbooger is a cryptid first reported to live in Norton, Virginia. The cryptid is often rumored to carry off young children like the boogy man.
Cryas Darkstalkers Cast Bits
So, I only really have designs for the characters I have shown via lore blogs. However, I already do have thoughts for many of the other cast. So rather than wait till I have designs to make longer lore blogs, I'll give brief snippets about how each have changed for the mythos and their general role.
Jon Talbain:
He is still a werewolf, born in the wilderness of the northern forests of the United Kingdom.
His father is still Baraba Kreutz, while his mother now has a name: Cathwulf Talbain. Cathwulf has a pet dog, an Airedale Terrier known as Norward.
He still has an ordeal of being unable to fully control his werewolf form. It is via the help of many of the years that he eventually can learn to control his Qi and control his bestial form.
He will have a fairly northern accent thanks to his mother.
He does learn martial arts from a Japanese master he finds in the mountains of the main European continent. The master does go by the name of Gallon.
He does eventually become friends with Felicia and becomes a relative mainstay in the Rose household from his travels. Their relationship is strictly platonic, despite Ramona making sly remarks about Jon being a fine man for her daughter.
Victor Von Gerdenheim:
Victor's 'birth' year is changed to 1831. No current month or date as of yet.
Honestly, aspects of his lore are inspired by the story he had from the Udon mythos. One of the very few things I can praise about those comics.
Professor Gerdenheim sees Emily and Victor as not only his creations, but also his children. He wishes to use his knowledge to further improve them, especially Emily since her 'heart' is defective compared to Victor's.
He and Emily both speak fluent Germen, but eventually learn English. Victor does tend to talk in the third person, but eventually learns to better improve his speech over the decades.
After the events of Victor and Emily's introduction into the mythos, their goals both involve making their father proud in their own ways. Victor wishes to get strong to help protect the village and his big sister from those who would cause harm. Emily wishes to follow in her father's footsteps to continue his research so that one day his studies could be fully realized and help the people.
Demitri Maximoff:
He is born in Makai.
He plays an antagonistic role, generally being a menace and nuisance to the various protagonists in the Cryas Darkstalkers mythos and eventually to even a few individuals from the Cryas Chronicles reality.
After his failed coup against Belial, he, his castle, and those in it were banished to Earth as a sign of humiliation and contempt for the vampire lord. Not only that, but the vampires who remained in Makai were under heavy watch.
However, there was another added thing in Cryas Darkstalkers. Belial cursed Demitri that so long as he lived, Demitri's power would always never be able to reach its full potential no matter how blood he consumed. Not only that, but he couldn't pass through the Gate to return to Makai.
With no knowledge of the curse, Demitri's time on Earth is spent trying to feebly regain his power and more to once again rechallenge Belial. However, he does seek to try and make a base of operation on Earth.
Despite not being at his full power, he still proves to be quite a powerful creature of the night.
His hatred of Belial extends to Morrigan. In essence, those who bear the family name of Aensland are his mortal enemies and must be crushed under his heel so he can take the throne and power of the ruler of Makai.
He does still have his harem of women. They are Patricia, Elizabeth, Francoise and Angelica. They are the ones that he gives the best treatment to in regard to their duties him compared to all his 'loyal' subjects.
His clothing is gonna be changed. Despite my desire to make fun of Demitri and see him as this dumb onion head, I will take him seriously enough in my mythos. Thus, no skintight clothing. It was and still is stupid looking.
Despite being a Makain by birth, I will likely try to design him with some sense of coding to a region on Earth. For exactly where, I still need to think about that.
While he does speak in a way to give a sense of regality to his mannerisms, he is not above going more brutish and animalistic in his tone when the time calls for it.
Zabel Zarock:
His birth year will be completely different to better match the idea of when he rose to stardom as a metal musician. For now, a current year of 1968 is in mind.
He is born in Australia, but this time will have an accent and speech mannerism to match that along with his cultural love of metal.
He becomes a zombie at a relatively young age, in his early 20s.
Despite the short time span of becoming a zombie, he amasses power at an unbelievable rate.
He begrudgingly works under Ozom, with Le Malta being Ozom's middleman to insure Zabel upholds his end of the bargain.
Despite Le Malta's initial role, he actually grows to have a good friendly, brother like relation to Zabel. Zabel does treat him like he would anybody else but does grow to like his company.
Lord Raptor was his stage name when he performed. He still goes by that name a lot during his concerts as a zombie and when out killing for souls. Only a few people are aware of his real name of Zabel Zarock.
NO, he and Hsien-Ko are not a couple in this mythos. However, I would like to give an idea of what I plan. This next bullet point will be longer, but I need to stress this very badly.
Upon his first encounter with the sisters in the brush of Australia, he merely saw Hsien-Ko as just another jobber out to kill him. A buzzkill basically. Despite being stronger than her, something about her willingness to keep fighting despite being badly injured and losing sparked something in his heart and mind. Her ferocious fighting spirit lit a flame in him that made him respect her and even grow to find this sheila as quite the catch. He would throw the battle to let her 'win' and eventually make his escape after teasing her with his honest answer as to why he allowed her to live and win. I want to explore the idea of his crush on Hsien-Ko being built on his respect for her after that first encounter. While the sisters clearly would want him dead since he is a murderous menace, the dude proves to be too slippery to fully kill. If anything, he basically likes to annoy her when he can come across Hsien-Ko. Not only to see her react but catch more glimpses of her.
Zabel is basically a chaotic antagonist. While he generally is a terrible individual, he is quite the goober with how he just lives by his own rules. However, there will be times where he does lend a hand to Hsien-Ko based on the circumstances. It is not often but does occur.
After his first encounter with the Shao sisters, he has no intention to harm or kill Hsien-Ko. By proxy, this is the same for Mei-Ling, but only because she is related to Hsien-Ko.
He wants to gain enough power to kill Ozom so he can be free from him and just go about living his undead life his own way. He does hope that maybe in time, perhaps he could even somehow get his sheila to aid him in killing Ozom.
Sasquatch:
His father is the leader of their tribe and is known as Tundra.
Their tribe is located in the artic regions of northern Canada.
The Bigfoot race once lived in Makai, but eventually left via a gate that no longer is active. The original location of the gate that brought their ancestors to this land is regarded as a sacred place and holds major cultural significance.
I am still uncertain how big of a character and role he will play in the overall mythos, but the sisters do encounter him and the Bigfoot during their travels through the North American continent.
Rikuo:
I'll be honest, I don't really have anything in mind. He will get a redesign and his people will live near the region of Brazil. But overall, the merkin and Rikuo play no major role. Just will do things to build the world and stuff.
Oh, I guess I will refer to his race as Merkin. I could say Merfolk, but I already refer to Felicia's race as Catfolk. So, want to spread things out with my vernacular.
Anakaris:
Same as Rikuo, but I do at least have a story event in mind with him. But again, he is a minor character in the grand scheme of things.
Likely, time travel will be eliminated from his lore since I do not want to deal with such story elements. But still, Anakaris will be quite the powerful pharaoh.
And yes, he still has commandments.
Okay, I think I will stop here for now. Just give you a taste of lore cast bits. I'll give some more at a later date. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll be happy to elaborate. 😉

Fatty dreams: Harold's feast. Not sure if anyone remembers this guy from this commercial http://www.freeagentsmarketing.com/.....rst-team-auto/ but I had a fatty dream about the Bigfoot, and not was it a good one. Harold (the bigfoot's name) finds himself selling First Team Auto stuff door to to(doubt that is how it works, but this a dream after all. Soon he comes to a strange house with a green lady in a hood, and before he can really get into his selling pitch, the lady becons him in with her finger. Not wanting to be rude, he cheerfully follows. What happened next is basically the strange lady kept bringing Harold food while he laid down on some strange table. It seemed she was fattening him up for something, but he didn't seem to mind. Also, it seemed the only thing she would "More" and a low evil cackle.
A Bigfoot Bearded Lady for day 8 Pretty stressful to pump a pic out, bit late but better late than never <:)
Decorated my current pencil case. Mostly Mothman, a hint of other cryptids:)
So I committed a a sin and made a fanfic about Sasquatch romance here. Give it a read if you want
Yoooo, just found out my fanfic put Sneaky Sasquatch in the video game category instead of miscellaneous! Check it out maybe?
It’s actually kind of badly written.
Ayy look at the boys!!❤️
Said it once, will say it I LOVE this game
Been working on my Sneaky Sasquatch fanfic and I’m liking how its going
My headcanon is that the Spaghetti Entrepreneur/ Rory Calebresi (first name coined by @otto-c-graves, last name by me ) is Italian. Humble, shy, but he could throw hands (only when needed). I would love to list out all my headcanons for him but I’ll save that for another post
