Sergeant Kelly "Sasquatch" Eldridge III is a non-playable character first introduced in the Lifeline DLC of State of Decay and a non-seen character that can be heard in radio/audio transmissions in State of Decay 2 and on its Daybreak DLC.

He is a playable character in State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition in the Breakdown mode after completing the "Operator" challenge.

Lifeline

At some point after the first Siege, a new set of storyline missions will be unlocked, adding the colorful character Sasquatch to the mix.

He is first encountered in the mission Reinforce My Ass!, where he will be recruited into the Black Friday community. Later on, he will ask to go on a specific series of missions that involve Hunting Freaks to get specific intel on them. After some hunt missions he disappears, but it is found out carrying on a very specific Mission. The player's choice during this mission involving Sasquatch will determine the fate of Danforth.

• He doesn't appear or mention something on the end-screen if The Nuke is armed and the city of Danforth is destroyed.
• In the end-screen, he will threaten the player if the player chooses to disarm The Nuke in the final mission.

State of Decay 2

Unlike the first game, now Sasquatch can only be heard on radio transmissions, at some point he supports the Red Talon group as an independent investigator to find and discover the fate of some members (including Lt. Meredith) who were a part of the failed Operation Drawbridge.

Daybreak

In Daybreak, he is a non-seen Red Talon support member which is inside of a helicopter flying around the Relay tower, often spotting and saying the kind of Freaks that are approaching the defenses or criticizing the player for their behavior.

Trivia

• Kelly Eldridge III introduces himself as "His Holiness Sergeant Kelly Eldridge III, Fucking Esquire".
• The callsign of his "Sasquatch" is also another name for Bigfoot.
• Despite being portrayed as a powerful character, he is relatively weak, therefore it is recommended to be extra cautious with him when doing his missions so he won't die.
• In State of Decay, he wears a Crye Precision Gen 2 Combat Pant, which is a common choice of special operation members since late 2000s.
• In State of Decay 2, an unused model of Sasquatch wearing Red Talon gear can be found in the game files. Modders can spawn this model using external programs, with the file listed as "HumanMaleRedTalon_v_Sasquatch." This model is unique, featuring a distinctive "hat" in the form of a large beard model, as well as a rolled-up sleeves variant of the default Red Talon uniform.
