Sasquatches first appeared in the 1997 reboot of Alpha Flight (mistaken for the human mutate Sasquatch, Walter Langkowski).

The MCU Sasquatch is similarly Canadian (British Columbian). 🇨🇦

[...]

History:

(Werewolf by Night I#8 (fb)) - Several centuries ago, the warlock Amos Treach summoned Krogg to be his servant, but Krogg refused to obey him and instead terrorized the area, devouring those humans it chanced upon. Treach was able to trap the demon in a cave in the California foothills but eventually died guarding the prison.

(Werewolf by Night I#8) - Jack Russell stumbled across the hidden cave, finding a rabbit, and broke through the door he found there and from where he had heard moaning. Invisible, Krogg was able to escape and that night came across Russell in his werewolf form, recognizing his scent and offered to kill him swiftly as an act of mercy. [...]

Two-Headed Mermaid

Could be based on one of these two creatures from the comics: Mermaids, or Sirenas (Filipino mythology). The non-human-looking faces and heads of the Two-Headed Mermaid are more akin to the Sirena than the usual mermaid.

Answer 2

The artbook Marvel Studios' Werewolf By Night: The Art of The Special has some named plaques; Cat Lizard, Rhino Lizard, Snake Bat, Monster, Vampire, Horned Monster, Mermaid/Meerman, Sasquatch

[Brian] Gay says that inspiration was drawn from forklore around the world. "On the wall we see mermaids, a yeti-like creature, bat- and snake-like creatures among many others."

Two of the monsters have appeared on screen before-but not in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They are version of designs that director Michael Giacchino created for his short film Monster Challenge
