Dungeons and Dragons Lore: Yeti

The fearsome arctic and high alpine predators! Yeti are an excellent ambush predator that can be used in all sorts of ways (deserts get very cold at night, the Sand People from Star Wars are like Yeti concealed under mummy wrappings, listen to how they speak!)

Ah the Yeti is one my favorite underrated monsters in dnd. I actually had a character concept for a Half-Orc barbarian that was raised by Yetis (though i had some other ideas for alternative ape-like creatures he could have been raised by like Dire Apes or Girallons). He was pretty much a wild/feral man character like Tarzan or Blanka, i was gonna go Berserker or Bear Totem barb with the Tavern Brawler feat since he would fight like a Yeti/ape using only his fists, claws, teeth, or just throw a big rock at em. I hope i get to play this character concept in a game someday.

I like to think of Yeti as the closest relative of the Quaggoth. Like they split from the same ancestor population and whereas the Yeti remained in boreal conditions, the Quaggoth adapted for warmer environments and eventually the Underdark.

[@Zasek2112]

You don't really say anything about how old they can get, which started me thinking... What if they have a far more complicated society then what sages and civilisation think? The young are like you describe, almost feral and dangerous(like teenage gangs really), even fighting dragons BUT as they get old and wise they become more solitary and see the benefits of talking and interacting with dragons. They take on a more intense relationship with the environment and their elemental nature becoming something more like an arctic Spirit of the land, or more like a yeti out of Discworld. The "young" yeti's might even have some sort of ancestor worship going on. I feel like there's ALOT of potential for homebrewing this monster.

[@AJPickett]

Yeah, I quite like the possibility of an ancient and legendary Yeti, so, I left that one open-ended (also, not much official lore on how old they get)

[@Greenscyth22]

You can really get a sense of just how terrifying a Yeti attack can be if set in the proper encounter. A band of adventurers is scaling a frigid mountain pass en route to a monastery high in the peaks. All of a sudden they're jolted by a blood curdling roar, so loud it causes a minor avalanche on the adjacent slope. Next comes a barrage of ice-rimed rocks from on high, then they descend in a flurry of claws and teeth. Ripping the weakest prey to pieces before the warrior can even raise his sword to counterattack.

[@AJPickett]

Pass a note to a player to inform them their character is Paralysed and they are not allowed to say anything about it, just roll a saving throw on their turn and skip to the next player, the players will quickly realize that.. Oh yeah, they can't speak, how would my character know that they are suddenly facing these monsters all by themselves?

[@That80sGuy1972]

Great video about super-underestimated monsters. Me: This village of Furchin (polar halflings) posted reward money for Yeti pelts and parts. Party: What? Snow bigfoots? Let's do it! Later on, a giant Yeti survived the party's first attack (counterattack, the Yeti ambushed them). The Yeti grabs their biggest fighter by the legs and uses the guy as a club to wack the wizard that hit him with Burning Hands. It wasn't an easy thing for the Yeti to do, but I did make it want to use that as a feat for both comic relief and the Yeti's cunning told him that he was large enough to do it, strong enough to do it, and knew using the big guy as a club would terrorize the rest of the party. Picture that scene in your head. How hard did you laugh?

[@purplehaze2358]

Game was a slow build game (more EXP to level up) and we were trying to get into good graces with a local Goliath clan, when a call came in that White Claw had been seen. Had to go hunt him down White Claw to get what we wanted. Turned out it was a Ghost Yeti who had simply remained to fight against the warm blooded invaders.

[@baddragonite]

That's not how being cold blooded works tho Cold blooded animals like snakes hate the cold and tend to love and be more active in warmer climates. They hibernate when it gets cold. Cold blooded just means their bodies don't regulate their temperature naturally- like mammals do. Like how your body sweats or shivers to try and keep itself arpund 98degrees F and theur metabolism changes based on environment rather than being more or less constant like a mammal's

[@arandomzoomer4837]

Wait, AJ Pickett seriously doesn't know that? I've known that since elementary school, and I'm sure most of you have known it for that time period too. Yeah if you think about it yetis are warm-blooded but their actual body temp and physiology works at temperatures in the negatives. God, I wonder how a creature could function, even keep water in its body liquid, at those temperatures. I guess if the whole world was like that but colder they would have to adapt, and when the heat returned they would've needed to return to whatever low level of heat that existed in the environment. Which means the mountains and the poles. That's fascinating when you think about it.

[@TaterRaider]

Cold blooded animals do regulate naturally. It's enviromentally, not internally, regulated. So if a Yeti's body temp. is regulated by the enviroment and not internally, and cold breath, absent magic, may indicate such, AJ was correct. As he's reciting lore about a game of imagination with rules, it is likely that in the 40+ years it has been around a mistake or two have been codified. Lacking scientific review on the subject of Yeti, I'll defer to TSR & WotC, whom AJ is quoting.

[@ToBeSchooled]

@@TaterRaider i think cold-blooded mean that it legit means its blood is about as cold as the surroundings. They obviously dont use heat to move about. Heat hurts them. Some sharks have their blood just a couple degrees warmer then the surrounding deep sea-waters and they legit stop as if its a wall that they cannot cross then they get to a warmer ocean current because they cannot regulate it. AND VICE VERSA, some sharks prey on this weakness by being in colder climates they can grow larger, and prey on the smaller sharks in the temperate currents.

Great work, AJ! I love your recommendations on how to make these creatures even more deadly. After I heard of Cryonax (from the Ring of Winter), I immediately imagined him as an enormous, four-armed Yeti with creeping, reaching tendrils of crackling cold emminating from him in every direction. When I saw the ridiculous early illustrations of the Lord of Cold I decided that these drawings would be the interpretations of lorists. After all, ice elementals, white dragons, and frost giants tend to be terrible sources of reliable information!

[@Huggamugger1]

While watching this video, I got an idea for my campaign where many years ago an especially bright Yeti found an ancient Yeti shrine from a time when his/her kind was more spiritual and contemplative; perhaps a subspecies. In this shrine s/he studied the ancient pictographs and eventually learned how to meditate and became a powerful Psion (I still play 3.5e) or Sorcerer with a proclivity for Enchantment/charm magic. The out of the way and desolate location of an icy mountaintop would fit a monk-like Yeti who enjoys meditating in harsh environments perfectly! Maybe s/he used magic to charm Frost Giants, Mammoths or the local White dragon to act as guards to its shrine.

[@lordsubziro2824]

Brrr, kudos to you for a video awesomely done! You realize that yeti are not mammalian since they are cold-blooded. That part doesn't seem to make sense. In order to survive in extreme cold climates you have to be cold-blooded. Why aren't polar bears cold-blooded, if that's the case. Anyway, are there a D&D version of Sasquatch, Bigfoot, and Swamp Ape by using the Yeti stats, modified for mountain, forest and swamp climates, of course. I liked the pics of the Yeti from "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" and, of course, the Wampa Ice Creature from "Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back"!!!! By the way, are there D&D version of the Tauntaun?? As always, keep up the great work you do for this channel!!!!!

Timothy Guilford Frost salamanders don't produce body heat and are colder than the icy climates they inhabit. In D&D, the normal laws for biological life don't necessarily apply.

Hey just curious, you talk about domesticating the Yeti, but these guys are intelligent creatures with a language. I mean their Int is 8 or 9, so only a bit below commoner average. Doesn't this sound less like domesticating an animal, and more like enslavement of a barbaric, if undeveloped, people? I wonder, given their intelligence, and having their own language, what Yeti talk about, what they think, why they never built anything? If we had been immune to elements of our environment, and strong, and clawed and horned, would we have continued to evolve? Maybe the flaw of the Yeti is they are so perfectly suited to their environment they don't need to strive, they peaked out early and have fallen into a sort of evolutionary complacency. That said, perhaps they are not quite people, as we would think of them, instead occupying a place in between beast and humanoid, and so in a way, not completely at home in either realm, and thus a danger to both. I just think it's interesting which creatures get to be "people" in D&D land, and which do not. Sometimes the politics, or bias of the worlds in our elf games is strangely horrible and enlightening. It's a far more brutal and terrifying world than the one we live in, and that's saying something, because ours is filled with monsters, and pitiless forces which act without rhyme or reason.

[@Lurklen]

Oh also congrats on getting through the Monster Manual, it's been a great series. Do you plan to tackle the other 5th edition monster books?

[@AJPickett]

Correct, all pets and livestock are slaves. As for evolution, in that sort of harsh environment, perhaps some of them have attained rudimentary technology and culture, maybe they do so every few hundred generations, and then POW along comes nature and just wipes out all of them except a lucky few. Evolution is like creating a fine wood carving using sticks of dynamite and a shotgun.

[@rootsnootthnute8598]

Most human level animals, like dolphins, chimps, and elephants, haven't created much. Maybe because of their superior adaptation preventing the need for advanced tool manufacture, like you said. Humans aren't very good at adapting physically due to our severely limited genepool, the most we tend to be able to do is skin adaptation. This inability to properly adapt likely helped us in developing tool use to a far greater extent than the other intelligent animals, which we otherwise might not have done.

[@erikmartin4996]

We are all enslaved whether you want to admit it or not. You’re born and given a number and you pay your taxes so you aren’t thrown in jail. You are the property of (insert country here) get over it.

[@Lurklen]

@@AJPickett Sure I get that, it's why they're included as chattel. But I mean the dog doesn't know it's a slave, the Yeti would though. I wonder what the other peoples in forgotten realms, who don't espouse slavery, think of that. They probably don't care as Yeti frequently eat people, and kind of seem like jerks. Hard to sympathize with the huge fuzzy death machine that just wants to be free to eat whatever warm blooded thing is unlucky enough to cross its path. I imagine some druid out there might be all "Free the Yeti's, they live as nature intended!" but then they're a monstrosity so maybe not. It's curious though how they stay so stable, but don't make progress, I mean as you said they are oooold. Over all that time, rise and fall of empires, near apocalypses, they're just bumbling about murdering folks and chilling on their mountain tops. Kind of amazing they're still around in the setting. I mean that shotgun and dynamite analogy is even more apt when you consider in these worlds things can evolve magical powers and flipping cold breath.

[@AJPickett]

Shambling strider is a yetti from my youth in mtg.as well as harry and Henderson too from movie

I guess in the sense that all placental mammals that aren't elephants, sea cows or sloths are related to both apes and bears, yeah Yeti could be in that same clade. Though I was thinking it meant more like they were magically created to have those traits.

Cross a yeti with a ghour demon ooh

As a kid I loved the Yeti monster, especially in Star Wars. I think the yeti in Star Wars was called the Wampa. I also loved the the yeti like frost trolls of Skyrim. Overall I had a soft spot for the yeti, it’s just a classic.

6:35 This Orangutan-Satyr needs to be its own type of creature. Someone name this thing and give it a stat block, please. It’s too cool to just be a Yeti.

[@AJPickett]

*looks at sad Yeti* _"Sorry mate, he says no matter how cold you are.. you will never be cool"_

[@Im-Not-a-Dog]

AJ Pickett All I’m saying is it looks like what you’d get if King Louie fucked Hellboy.

[@MrLott1225]

Excellent video with a plethra of information.

[@chriscalvin5083]

Good video AJ

[@markjenkins1217]

Thanks! It is definitely an impressive video.

Sasquatch/big foot could be yeti that can survive in warmer climates though still have a preference for region with full winter at least part of the year and forested regions preferably mountains but can handle regions that aren't tundra all year round which could also effect them in otherwise then just choice in habitat as well i would think like possibly not quite as aggressive, more of a omnivore etc

[@AJPickett]

And they may have a venomous bite, rather than a chilling gaze.

[@dragonlord498]

@@AJPickett o maybe slightly more intelligent (more food to power their brains given wider diet and more prey) or least use basic tools or something as well perhaps compared to their tundra cousin possibly a player race + str and con bite attack or such maybe natural armor due too thick fur and some cold resistence or similar idea
