Bigfoot:

Some Bigfoot proponents suggest Neanderthal or Homo erectus to be the creature, but remains of either species are also not found in the New World.


Tarasque:

The king of Nerluc had attacked the Tarasque with knights and catapults to no avail. But Saint Martha found the beast and charmed it with hymns and prayers, and led back the tamed Tarasque to the city. The people, terrified by the monster, attacked it when it drew nigh. The monster offered no resistance and died there. Martha then preached to the people and converted many of them to Christianity. Sorry for what they had done to the tamed monster, the newly-Christianized townspeople changed the town's name to Tarascon.

So one hangs out with humans, the other is responsible for converting people to religion.

Well... we know who the bigger evil is here.

:lol: Indeed ;)

Sorry Bigfoot but that Tarasque thing looks cool, will convert you to religion, is more evil and could swallow you whole. Looks like you wont be able to run away fast enough. If those are people standing at it's feet then it is gargantuan.

Tarasque doesn't have the face of Gengis Kahn. It has the head of a Lion.
Supposedly, anyways.

Wasn't there a Ultralisk called Tarosque in Starcraft?

Anyway, because I like that first picture of it: Tarasque.
