Yeti

A Yeti is a type of, and another name for Abominable Snowman.

Background
Yetis are not at all uncommon in the higher elevations of the great mountains of Daventry. The fact that there are records of Graham and Alexander encountering these creatures in their journeys would tend to support this assertion. Yetis are said to live solitary lives until they mate, at which time the male and female of the species stay together until death. They make their Daventry homes in deep caves that they ferociously guard from all intruders.

A yeti was guarding a cave entrance to the crystal cavern of Queen Icebella. Queen Icebella was even less fond of the yeti who had invaded her territory than she was of Graham and Cedric. She offered Graham a chance to save himself and Cedric's life if he somehow removed the yeti from her realm. It was defeated by King Graham, who throws a pie in his face.

Gwydion also encountered an abominable snowman during the original King's Quest III. He must escape the the snowman at all costs.

A creature similar to Yeti is also said to exist in parts of Siberia, and Bigfoot is yet another similar creature. Many say Bigfoot roams the forests of North America, but it lives at a lower altitude, and in a much more temperate climate.

Yeti in the Unofficial Games
The unofficial remake by Infamous Adventures reuses the KQ5 sprite for the Abominable Snowman.

Ersatz says, 'Oh, they make impersonating yetis as easy as pie, and they're so wonderful for stepping on cockroaches.'
