Basic Trope: Bigfoot (and occasionally the Yeti) is portrayed as a good guy.
- Straight: Alice and Bob are hiking in the forest and get injured, and then they come across Bigfoot. He turns out to be a Nice Guy, and manages to help them find a hospital.
- Exaggerated:
- Bigfoot and the Yeti are part of an Always Lawful Good species of heroic ape-like creatures.
- Bigfoot is a very competent All-Loving Hero who helps everyone that comes into his forest.
- Downplayed:
- Bigfoot is an example of Good Is Not Nice or Jerk with a Heart of Gold.
- The friendly ape-like creature isn't actually Bigfoot, but a Gentle Gorilla, although the scenario still plays out.
- Justified: ???
- Inverted: Bigfoot and/or the Yeti are portrayed as evil.
- Subverted: Bigfoot seems to be helping Alice and Bob, but he actually is leading them into a dangerous situation...
- Double Subverted: ...Which was a wrong turn.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: Bigfoot doesn't make an appearance.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
