The fearsome Yeti is a particular monster located in the highest points of the mountainous landscape, though they have a tendency to hunt in lower climes should food scarcity or grudges draw it down.

Yeti are omnivorous, though they have a preference for meat whenever possible. Thick, curved claws extend from their paws and massive teeth fill their mouths. This beast is massive, standing at a gigantic four to six meter range. Covered with a thick, white coat of hair, the Yeti can survive and even flourishes in climates where even Pegasi would have trouble flying in. 

This is due, in no small part, to the particular brand of magic they possess; that is, they draw blizzards and snowstorms to themselves that thicken and worsen the angrier they become, though this may only be near their natural habitat. Another form of magic they have perfected over the ages of their existence is a mastery of ice traps. These mighty beasts can lay circles of magic that immediately trap anything that walks into it in a block of ice. Depending on the size of the circle, the ice block will usually entrap anything, though I have witnessed a smaller trap only covering half of a pony.

As has been noted previously, Yeti are capable of holding grudges. In fact, anger and grudge-holding are a species-wide trait shared even by their cousins, the Sasquatch. I have personally witnessed a Yeti hunt its prey miles from its mountain home, though how it finds its prey is a mystery to me. Some hypothesize they can use their sense of smell, though others are confident it is another form of magic they possess. Further research is required into this matter.

Overall, however, despite their proficiency with traps and the ability to hold grudges, Yeti have a vastly inferior intelligence to most animals. They are slow when faced with difficult or unexpected situations and the result is often expressed in beating the object of their confusion into the ground after a few seconds of thought.
