The Yeti is an enemy beast and potential companion rarely found in arctic caves. It is a unique creature, and can be found only once per game.
When a yeti is found, the player is given the option to attack, do nothing, or offer an object. Attacking or doing nothing will immediately launch combat, though choosing the latter will give the Yeti the advantage of surprise (a free round of attacks).
If the player gifts an object, they must choose between up to 4 different items, or they must improvise by rolling dice with a target of + . Selecting an item the Yeti does not "like" or a failed attempt to improvise will launch combat, with the Yeti gaining surprise. The items that the Yeti will accept include Whisky, Food Cans, mushrooms (any kind), Mini Puppets and Weather Baloons.

A Yeti rolls 2 combat dice each turn.

Companion[]
Once successfully befriended, a yeti will join the troupe. They start with level 2 Loyalty. Although yetis have animal-type dice, they are can be promoted like human companions except if your explorer has the Animal Whisperer perk.
However, they are treated as animals in most events (for example, they can be offered when a village chief asks for an animal to slaughter for a feast, you cannot send them into narrow gaps in caves, etc.). Also like animals, they are immune to most ailments.
The yeti's class perk is Sparkling Personality, which enables them to regularly improve all party members' loyalty.
