"The Ahool (a.k.a Athol) is a large winged monster that is known to live in the dense jungles of Java, Indonesia. The name itself comes from an ear-witness account that the cryptid cries out in a sort of ‘AHOOL’ like scream. One thing that makes this an interesting cryptid is its occasional focus on killing and eating humans. "

Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is an alien cyborg created by a group of aliens visiting earth; he was constructed by the alien Shalon in imitation of a lower form of life from the alien homeworld, using a technology called "Nyosynthetics," an advanced form of Bionics which are powered by Mergeron. He was created to cultivate mystery and fear in a remote part of the Pacific Northwest in order to protect the location and identity of the alien's secret base.

Night Shift: Sasquatch

Jason Vey and Timothy S. Brannan's Nightshift: Veterans of the Supernatural Wars was fulfilled weeks ago and I've been remiss in not posting about it. I've been alternating between reading through it and Max Brooks' excellent Sasquatch horror novel, Devolution.

The novel made me remember being a kid in the '80s when Bigfoot wasn't some gentle herbivorous primate hiding from humankind. It made me think of Legend of Boggy Creak, Snowbeast, and In Search Of when we didn't have the internet. Instead, the novel draws on some of the more terrifying encounters I read way back when. The humans of Greenloop encounter a terrifying troupe of Sasquatch's and I decided to write them up for Night Shift and the O.G.R.E.S. System.

There are legends of primates living in the wilderness all over the world, apart from humankind, but watching, always watching. As humanity spread all over the globe and created new and terrifying weapons to kill one another, these creatures, once our predator began to hide from us, choosing to hunt easier prey. But as humankind has altered their woodland homes some of these creatures have been forced to hunt us for prey...and a lone human is rarely the match for a troupe of Sasquatch.

Common Sasquatch Abilities:

• Strong and Fast. Sasquatch gain +2 to initiative rolls, and add half again their hit dice to attack rolls. They also deal 2 dice of damage on attacks, keeping the better.

D&D Next: Bionic Bigfoot

I've been prepping a game for my 11 year old son and my 8 year old daughter.  I decided to work up a companion for them and settled on it being a sasquatch (we all watch Finding Bigfoot every sunday night).  I mentioned it to my son and he said, "Dad, what if bigfoot was a robot?".  First, pride filled my chest because the only thing cooler than a bigfoot was a robotic bigfoot, and second my mind went to The Six-Million Dollar Man.
