At first, Yetis are entirely covered in white fur, which serves as camouflage in their habitat. They have visible ears and fangs, and walk on their two legs. They look mostly humanoid, although their feet and hands are blue and much larger than those of humans.

Later on, a nother tribe of Yetis had a slightly different look. Their fur was a shade of beige and they have a more pronounced facial hair, like long eyebrows and a scruffy mustache. Their nose are more dog-like and their skin is no longer blue. Their eyes are also bigger and more like those of animals.

Abominable Snow-people are large but friendly creatures. They are absolutely harmless, which make them extremely vulnerable to hunters.
