| Reference | EvilHack - monst.c, line 2636 |
The Abominable Snowman, Y, is a unique monster that appears in EvilHack. Among its three attacks, it has a powerful bite and a claw swipe that can send the target flying back; it is also capable of lifting and throwing boulders, and can freeze pools of water underneath it as it moves.
Generation
The Abominable Snowman appears on the second floor of the Ice Queen's Realm, where it is generated in the middle of the gorge's narrow pass on level creation. It is always generated with a dozen boulders in its inventory.
Strategy
The Abominable Snowman's ice power makes it immune to drowning, and the boulders it will pelt you with can obstruct the pass. It is typically worth keeping a wand of striking or two around so that non-giant characters can break them and pass by; casters such as Healers can also try the stone to flesh spell.
Encyclopedia entry
The Abominable Snowman, or yeti, is one of the truly great
unknown animals of the twentieth century. It is a large hairy
biped that lives in the Himalayan region of Asia ... The story
of the Abominable Snowman is filled with mysteries great and
small, and one of the most difficult of all is how it got that
awful name. The creature is neither particularly abominable,
nor does it necessarily live in the snows. _Yeti_ is a Tibetan
word which may apply either to a real, but unknown animal of
the Himalayas, or to a mountain spirit or demon -- no one is
quite sure which. And after nearly half a century in which
Westerners have trampled around looking for the yeti, and
asking all sorts of questions, the original native traditions
concerning the creature have become even more muddled and
confused.
