Mythical Canadian beast (9)

I believe the answer is:

sasquatch

(Other definitions for sasquatch that I've seen before include "Action of twisting" , "monster" , "Mythical creature" , "Hairy, man-like beast of Canadian folklore" , "North American creature of folklore" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
