'''Yetis''' are large, [[fanciful]], dangerous [[creature]]s found only in [[savage]] [[mountain]]s, [[tundra]]s and [[glacier]]s. They are fully capable of massacring dozens of unarmed dwarves due to their large size, and their disposition to [[building_destroyer#Dangerous_Fun_Variety|destroy buildings]] will draw them into contact with fortresses, where they will topple [[furniture]] and wreck [[workshop]]s in their path. Yetis can equip items and open unlocked [[door]]s, though the former is not typically seen in normal play and the latter is normally ignored, as the yeti will simply destroy the whole door instead of opening it.
 
  
When players embark on a savage glacier, they should expect to encounter yetis. Due to a glacier's general lack of other animal life, the map will almost always spawn one yeti right after another, making them a deadly hazard for an early fortress. However, since they have a relatively low population number, no more than 5-10 yetis will spawn before they become [[extinct]] in your [[biome]]. Despite their humanoid physiology, yetis are not intelligent, and your dwarves will gleefully [[butcher]] them into [[food]] and [[bone]]s for crafting. Items made from yeti parts are [[Item value|worth]] 3 times more than those of your standard [[domestic animal]]s.

Yetis can be captured with [[cage]] [[trap]]s, but cannot be [[Animal trainer|trained]]. If the player doesn't want to butcher them for meat, their extremely long lifespan can make them valuable as permanent decorations for your fortress.
