The Skunk Ape
The Sasquatch of the Swamps.
Classification
CRYPTID
Status: Legend / Unconfirmed Species.
Florida folklore speaks of a large, foul-smelling hairy biped roaming the Everglades. Rockstar Games, known for their love of myths (like Bigfoot in GTA V or the UFOs in RDR2 ), appears to be bringing the legend to life in GTA 6 via the Skunk Ape.
In the trailers, brief glimpses suggest strange activity in the deep forests of the Grassrivers. Whether this is a unique animal, a man in a costume, or a hallucination remains the ultimate mystery for hunters to solve.
