Sometimes confused with the abominable snowman, the Yeti is a distant cousin
to the great carnivorous apes of warmer climates. An adult Yeti stands 8
feet tall and is covererd in long, white fur. Their feet and hands are wide
and flat, which helps to disperse their great weight (about 300 pounds) on
treacherous snow fields. They travel on all fours like the apes, but fight
very comfortably standing erect. Unlike most apes and gorillas, the Yeti
does not have an opposable toe on its feet. They wear no clothing or
ornamentation. The spoor, or smell, of a Yeti is very subtle in cold
climates, but in confined or warm areas, they have a strong, musky odor. The
eyes of a Yeti are icy blue or almost colorless. They have a transparent
second eyelid, which allows the creature to see in blowing snow, and
prevents its eyes from freezing in extreme temperatures. Their claws and
flesh are ivory white. Unlike many arctic creatures, the Yeti does not have
a thick layer of body fat to keep it warm. Instead, it relies upon the
special properties of its thick, warm fur.
