A yeti is a large, white-furred, human-shaped
creature that stands about 8 feet tall and weighs approximately 300 pounds. Its long fur is heaviest around the head and shoulders, and its hands and feet are wide and flat. Layers of fat insulate its body, allowing it to survive and even thrive in subzero conditions. Although a yeti can stand and walk upright, it tends to hunch over and use its hands and feet, in the manner of a gorilla, to navigate ice floes and rocky terrain. Its eyes are either blue or colorless, and it has an extra pair of transparent eyelids that allow it to see even in blowing snow.
Cold Subtype (Ex): A yeti is immune to cold
damage. It takes 50% more
damage from fire attacks.
Constrict (Ex): A yeti deals normal claw
damage (treat as bludgeoning
damage) plus 2d6 points of cold
damage with a successful
grapple check against a target at least one
size category smaller than itself.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this
ability, the yeti must hit an opponent at least one
size category smaller than itself with its claw attack. If it gets a hold, it automatically deals claw
damage each round that the hold is maintained, and it can
constrict in the same round.
Skill Bonus: The yeti's white fur grants it a +15 species bonus on Hide checks made in snowy conditions.
