Wildermann

A Wildermann (VIL-dər-maan; pl. -männer; Germ. wilder Mann "wild man"), (also known as Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, Wendigo, Abominable Snowman, Woodwose, or Skunk Ape) is a hominid-like Wesen that appeared in. Wildermänner generally are peaceable Wesen who strive to live transcendentally. As such, they may be extremely conscious of when they woge, and may seek psychiatric help out of fear that they suffer from an impulse control issue (when in fact they most likely do not).

Possibly one of the most well-established Wesen in human folklore, the Wildermann is documented not only in the world-wide phenomena of Sasquatch-like beings, but were also depicted throughout the art and tales of many medieval European cultures. They traditionally are shown as solitary men or women covered in hair. In archaic English they were known as the Woodwose ('wose' derived from the same root as Wesen). Wildermänner are built large and strong, and they have large jaws with overgrown canines, making their bite particularly dangerous.

They are normally friendly Wesen, and are smart loners who enjoy nature and activities such as campfires, hiking and camping.

Famous Wildermänner have historically been poets and supporters of transcendentalism. They neither reject civilization nor fully embrace wilderness, representing their solitary preferences while also showing their unwillingness to give in completely to their inner beast.
