Bigfoot, also referred to as Sasquatch, is a well-known cryptid said to dwell in forests across the United States and Canada. It is often regarded as a counterpart to other famous hairy humanoid cryptids such as the Yeti from the Himalayan mountains and the Yowie from the Australian Outback. As a popular monster in folklore and cryptozoology, it has been featured in numerous media for decades, including the 2023 Apple TV Monsterverse television series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, and comics such as the story "Godzilla vs. Sasquatch" in the 2026 IDW Publishing Godzilla anthology comic Godzilla vs. America: Portland.
Name
The name "Bigfoot" is in obvious reference to the cryptid's famously large feet. It was first used in 1958, when claims of activity from the creature had been spread around a construction site run by Raymond L. Wallace's company in Bluff Creek, California, including 16-inch-long footprints—which were revealed to be a hoax decades later—identified by a bulldozer operator named Jerry Crew. The alleged incidents were reported by the Humboldt Times, which used the Bigfoot name, thereby popularizing its use.[2][3]
The name "Sasquatch" is an anglicization of sésq̓əc,[1] a word from the Halq'emeylem dialect of the Sts'ailes people which roughly translates to "hairy man". The anglicized form was coined by a Canadian government agent named J.W. Burns in his 1929 article "Introducing B.C.'s Hairy Giants" published in Maclean's.[4]
Design
In Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, the brief glimpse of Bigfoot in the captured photo by Bill Randa depicts it as a tall, black, and hairy bipedal humanoid.

Abilities
Summoning
All five of the Sasquatches in Portland are able to summon a Giant Leaf Sasquatch. This process involves creating a giant faint light near a forest as trees start converging in it to create a giant green Sasquatch, with a flute as well. This giant Sasquatch displays great agility, being able to jump all the way from the mountains to the river where Godzilla was at when attacking Portland. It can also take multiple hits as well, surviving Godzilla's atomic breath and physical attacks with barely any damage taken, showcasing immense durability. With its flute, the Sasquatch is capable of putting anything to sleep that listens to its music, which is how it was able to defeat Godzilla. Once Godzilla was asleep, the giant Sasquatch then disappeared, as the wind carried its dwindling body mass away.

Issue #1
As US agent Bob Jones presented artist renditions of Godzilla based on supposed eyewitness accounts to his superiors, some of them quickly discredited the idea of a giant monster, jokingly asking if the eyewitness accounts were from "Bigfoot" or "the Loch Ness Monster".
Godzilla vs. America: Portland
"Godzilla vs. Sasquatch"
A lone, disguised Sasquatch makes its way into an alley, and goes up to a door, which had a private sign up, to enter a password to get in. Once inside, it took off its disguise and made its way down the stairs to another door. It entered a room that had walls reminiscent of tree bark, with fauna and mushrooms growing all over the place, and with small glowing butterflies flying around. Also inside the room were four other Sasquatches who were viewing a large bubble of light showcasing Godzilla's rampage, which was over a table filled with mushrooms and fauna, as one of them calls to the Sasquatch who entered the room the chieftain while pointing at the bubble. The chieftain Sasquatch then states that their time to defend the lands, also stating that the human's belief that technology would protect the land was simple futility. The chieftain than stated to begin, as all the Sasquatches went near the table and extended their hand to the bubble of light to concentrate on creating their trump card.
Near the mountains that eclipsed Portland, which was being destroyed by Godzilla, a large body of light was faintly there. Trees started combining together where the light was, to form a Giant Leaf Sasquatch who was holding a pipe. This Sasquatch then jumped all the way over to the river where Godzilla was at, and made a large water burst that made Godzilla turn away from the water. Godzilla then wasted no time attacking as it used the atomic breath on the Sasquatch, slashed the Sasquatch's face with its claws, and then dropkicked the Sasquatch to send it back. The giant Sasquatch then used its flute to play a song that would slowly tire Godzilla out enough to the point where he fell into the river from the drowsiness. The giant Sasquatch disappeared as it fell apart from the trees leaving it, with a rainbow appearing from behind it, and Godzilla fast asleep in the water.
Three Sasquatches are in the crowd of humans, happy that everything is over, but had to shush the watchman from the beginning for celebrating too loudly.

Trivia
- Both Gaira and Sanda reference Bigfoot, likely due to being hairy humanoid monsters. In Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, Gaira is referred to as Bigfoot Gaira (人型巨大生物・ガイラ Hito-gata Kyodai Seibutsu Gaira, lit. Giant Humanoid Creature Gaira). Sanda's first appearance in Godzilla: Rulers of Earth issue 5, as he runs away from a helicopter, is an homage to the iconic pose struck by the Bigfoot in the Patterson–Gimlin film.
- In the 2019 film Zillafoot, the titular monster is described as an alien-created hybrid between Godzilla and a Sasquatch.
