Yetis are large, furry humanoid animals that usually live in or near caves. Some of the varieties in colder regions breathe ice breath. Yetis are skinnable, unlike most humanoids. Yetis can be found in Feralas, the Hillsbrad Foothills, Winterspring, and the Alterac Mountains. They can also be found in Northrend.

In Wrath of the Lich King

This section concerns content exclusive to Wrath of the Lich King.

In the Wrath of the Lich King, the yetis of Northrend got a new more intimidating look. They also appear to be far more intelligent than the yeti of the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, with the capability of complex speech and understanding.

Note that The Wrath of the Lich King Bestiary called this model a "wendigo", but they are consistently referred to as "yeti" elsewhere.

In Mists of Pandaria

In Mists of Pandaria, the yetis of Pandaria will receive a look that appears to be between the huge yetis of Northrend and the smaller yetis found in the Eastern Kingdoms, while still looking intimidating.

Yetis are cousins to wendigos. They live in colder climates, far away from civilized communities. Yeti are far more territorial and aggressive than wendigo, usually attacking intruders on sight. A yeti begins combat with its breath weapon and then closes into melee, attacking fiercely.
