The yeti is a towering, white-furred ape of the high cold, blending into snow and ice until it is almost upon its prey. Powerfully built, it crushes victims in a bear-like hug and rakes them with frost-cold claws. Its sudden, looming appearance and chilling stare can freeze a traveler with terror. Reclusive and cunning, yeti live in small family bands in the lonely heights and shun the lowlands, descending only when game grows scarce. They make scant use of speech but may wield a crude club or hurled stone.

Behavior

  • Stalks silently across snowfields, camouflaged by its white pelt
  • Seizes prey in a crushing two-armed grip and rends with cold claws
  • Its dreadful gaze can paralyze a victim with fear
  • Ranges over wide frozen territory alone or with its small band; shuns warm lowlands

Abilities

  • Crushing Hug. Grapples and squeezes prey for heavy damage.
  • Frost Claws. Rakes with claws cold enough to numb and burn flesh.
  • Fearful Gaze. A sudden chilling stare that can freeze a victim in terror.
