A Yeti is a type of snow monster, 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.[1]
Yeti's are huge and fearsome creatures, human-shaped (but several times larger), covered with coarse and pungent fur, and overly equipped with long claws and fangs. It is said that their intellectual capacity is nil, but no known person has ever survived initiating a conversation with a yeti.[2]
The Yeti's Coming for Graham!
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.[3] It was defeated by King Graham, who throws a pie in his face.
Prince Alexander-Gwydion also encountered an abominable snowman during the original King's Quest III. He had to escape the the snowman at all costs.[4] He was able to avoid him with some of the magical items he made back in Llydor.
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.[5]
Behind the scenes
Ersatz says, 'Oh, they make impersonating yetis as easy as pie, and they're so wonderful for stepping on cockroaches.' This is a nod to the solution of killing a yeti, with a pie in KQ5.
Calling this creature a 'character' is somewhat loose definition of the term, as it does seem to be rather mindless. But it does have a character portrait in the KQ5 on the NES, which pops up if Graham attempts to communicate with it. But only unintelligible sounds are listed on next to the image.
