Sasquatchanakwa

The Sasquatchanakwa is a beast that looks like a purple ape. Its name is a play on Sasquatch and Wawanakwa. Its first appearance was in The Big Sleep when the beasts all throw Owen (who's been asleep for three days straight) out of their cave. It is also one of the most highly feared animals in Camp Wawanakwa. However, it is uncertain if Sasquatchanakwa is even a real animal, or a man in a costume hired for the show.

In Who Can You Trust?, it is seen channel surfing (the theme song of Total Drama Island can be heard) before getting hit in the head with a crab apple shot by Sadie, when she was trying to clear the arrow off of Courtney's head, even after LeShawna and Owen won the challenge, it didn't react to the crab apple in any way. It was called the Sasquatchanakwa by Chris in No Pain, No Game when Eva had to fight it. Its hair was torn off and used as a hat and a pair of boots by Eva for most of the episode. He later covered the bald patch with Geoff's "lucky" hat. It (Chef in disguise or it might have not been) also follows Duncan onto the Boat of Losers and scares him in Are We There Yeti?.

In the Total Drama Action theme song opening, it is featured wearing a dress and a blond wig with pigtails running across the screen. In The Aftermath: I, Chris dressed up in a costume that made him look very similar to Sasquatchanakwa in a video calling him Steve the Yeti. There is a possibility that the Sasquatchanakwa is actually a person in a costumed to confuse the campers, since he has been seen doing some human activities, like watching television, and driving a golf cart, more proof to that theory is that both Chris and Chef Hatchet wore Sasquatchanakwa costumes, and the fact that when Eva fought against it she came out with parts of its fur as a hat and boots like they were a suit.

Sasquatchanakwa makes his first appearance in Total Drama Action in the That's Gonna Leave A Mark! segment in The Aftermath: III. In the segment he is shown in a golf cart and later being hit by Chef Hatchet in a golf cart. Sasquatchanakwa then gets angry, and whacks Chef with a golf club before giving him the finger. In Rock n' Rule, Chris tells Lindsay that, if you get shocked by the guitar, you may never be able to use a phone again. Lindsay of course screams, and Sasquatchanakwa is seen sitting in an actor's chair far away, wondering what that noise was. His hand was also shown holding a camera in the same episode, meaning it may have been one of the photographers in the crowd during the Red Carpet challenge.

In Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen, Sasquatchanakwa plays the part of a wise samurai as part of the samurai challenge, during which the guys must deliver to him tea water in exchange for a bonsai tree he was guarding. For this challenge, Sasquatchanakwa wore a full samurai outfit. This was also the first episode in which he speaks English. After Harold dumped the tea water just to spite him, Sasquatchanakwa appeared in the confessional saying, "Not cool!"

Sasquatchanakwa briefly appeared in Mutiny on the Soundstage, during the pirate challenge, when it stinks up the bathroom for Duncan. After Duncan finished cleaning the bathroom, Sasquatchanakwa went in bathroom for a second time and stunk it up again.

Its last Total Drama Action appearance was in the Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special. Sasquatchanakwa is also seen in a picture of The Drama Brothers at their party, relaxing in the pool. It was apparently one of the cast members for Total Drama Dirtbags. It was probably the second most prominent cast member of this show in the special, along with Alejandro, as it was the only other "Dirtbag" cast member to appear later in the special after they were introduced. During the climactic bus chase, when the Total Drama cast was launching caramel-chocolate candies at the Dirtbag bus, the Sasquatchanakwa stuck its head out the window and angrily roared at them, only for its head to be covered in chocolate shortly after.

In Total Drama World Tour, the Sasquatchanakwa is first seen in Aftermath: Bridgette Over Troubled Water. Here, he joins The Drama Brothers in singing Baby, replacing Cody. Along with the rest of the Drama Brothers, the Sasquatchanakwa is later chased off by a yellow bus of school girls. When Bridgette sings her song, I'm Sorry, Sasquatchanakwa switches to piano in the beginning of the song and plays the electric guitar in the second half.

The Sasquatchanakwa is seen once again in Can't Help Falling in Louvre, where Chris recruits it, a Bear and a Baby Seal to attack the teams. It chases Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot at first so Noah pretends to throw a ball for it to fetch saying that the trick works on his dog all the time. It does work and it runs away, looking for the ball. Later it attacks DJ for knocking it over and getting a pot stuck on it's head.

Trivia

 * It is debatable as to whether or not its name is spelled "Sasquatchanakwa" or "Sasquatchinakwa." However, the former is more likely the correct one, as that is how the last part of the word "Wawanakwa" is spelled, and the Sasquatchanakwa's name is a mix of "Sasquatch" and "Wawanakwa."
 * It is debated whether Sasquatchanakwa is really an animal or a hired intern, because it is often seen participating in human activities and exhibiting human behaviors. A costume has also been seen on various occasions:
 * It is revealed that Chris and his interns have at least one Sasquatchanakwa costume in Are We There Yeti? and in The Aftermath: I, backing up the fact that an actual creature may not exist
 * He is seen watching TV, twice.
 * In No Pain, No Game, Eva has to spend 10 seconds in a crate with him. She comes out completely fine, with a cap and matching boots that look like they came off an actual costume.
 * Supposedly, he can speak some English, as evidence is shown in Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen.
 * He drives a golf cart and gives the finger.
 * He uses the bathroom (along with the trained bear) in Mutiny on Soundstage.
 * He is a "contestant" on Total Drama Dirtbags.
 * He "crashes" the The Drama Brothers' birthday party
 * He plays instruments in Total Drama World Tour.
 * This may just be a gag on Chris' producers' part to entertain the audience and boost ratings. However, it may also be trained like the Bear, since there are many cases where it acts like a regular animal.
 * He is referred to as "Big Foot" several times throughout the series.
 * In Total Drama Action, Sasquatchanakwa is shown more than any other animal.
 * Sasquatchanakwa is one of three characters to put up the finger, the others being Duncan and Lindsay.
 * He is the first animal to use the Total Drama Action confessional, and the fourth one overall (the first being the Loon and the second one being the Bear and the third being the Panda).
 * He is the second animal to be dressed in a costume. In the series, the first was the Bear, which was wearing the same kind of clothes as Katie and Sadie.
 * The Sasquatchanakwa has a cameo appearance in the Cartoon Network Drop of Shame game.
