 The yeti is dangerous for early-game characters and must be dealt with carefully: while it cannot grab the player like a [[carnivorous ape]], its 15 [[speed]] is faster than the largest ape and unhasted characters.

 ==History==
-The yeti appears in the bestiary of PDP-11 Hack, a variant of [[Jay Fenlason's Hack]], and is the first apelike creature introduced to the game. The macro used to define apelike creatures - <code>[[S_YETI]]</code> - is named after the yeti;{{refsrc|include/monsym.h|65|version=NetHack 3.6.6}}{{refsrc|include/monsym.h|134|version=NetHack 3.6.6}} the monster class uses the {{white|Y}} glyph as the yeti did in the first versions of ''Hack''.
+The yeti first appears in PDP-11 Hack, which is based on [[Jay Fenlason's Hack]], and is included in the initial bestiary for [[Hack 1.0]]. From this version to [[NetHack 3.0.10]], the yeti was the sole member of its monster class monster - in [[NetHack 3.1.0]], the apelike creature [[monster class]] is moved from {{white|A}} to its current glyph, and the yeti is merged into the monster class, with its macro repurposed to represent them.{{refsrc|include/monsym.h|65|version=NetHack 3.6.7}}{{refsrc|include/monsym.h|134|version=NetHack 3.6.7}}
