There’s no such thing as ‘a Bigfoot’.

Bigfoot is a proper noun, if you saw him, you didn’t see a bigfoot, you saw the Bigfoot. But more likely it was some lesser Sasquatch.

The Peladiens diplomatically refer to them as ‘The honorable inhabitants’’ (in contrast to humans, referred to just as ‘the inhabitants’
