A Tennessee variety of bigfoot, Blue Ridge Bigfeet are a gentle species; many find them to be more human-like in appearance and action than other bigfeet. Broad-shouldered and muscular, Blue Ridge Bigfeet are covered in reddish-brown hair; the locks atop their head are long and matted, though the hair on their face is described as shorter and mostly stubble. As the most famous sighting of these creatures was a mother with child, they have been lovingly named "Mountain Mamas."

Drawn to orchards—especially apples—these creatures love fruit above all other foods. Leaving prints, hair, and broken limbs behind, they can completely harvest many trees overnight. Though mostly reported near feeding sights, these bigfeet have also been encountered near water sources: drinking from creeks and streams, and wading, or seemingly bathing, in ponds. Quiet and not known to vocalize, they roam the wilderness, mothers carrying their young on their backs.
