    There’s no hierarchy in the sasquatch society. To them, ‘bigfoot’ is a slur. ‘Skunk ape’ is strangely a term of endearment (to them, we are their ‘skunk apes’, on account of the smell) ‘Hairy man’ is unnessecarily gendered. ‘Orang Pendek’ is fine, but also gendered. Wood ape’ is a bit simplified, but fine. Yowie is used proudly by the Austral version, but secretly used as a bit of a slur by the North American variant to describe their southern cousins.

    The Peladiens diplomatically refer to them as ‘The honorable inhabitants’’ (in contrast to humans, referred to just as ‘the inhabitants’)
