This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.

A large ape-like creature with white fur, found in the snowy wilds.

Yetis are large, dangerous creatures found only in savage areas. They are fully capable of massacring dozens of unarmed dwarves due to their large size, and their BUILDINGDESTROYER:2 tag will draw them into contact with fortresses.

When players embark on a 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.

Yetis cannot be tamed. However, their extremely long lifespan can make them valuable as permanent decorations for your fortress.


D4Dwarf.png This article or section has been rated D for Dwarf. It may include witty humour, not-so-witty humour, bad humour, in-jokes, pop culture references, and references to the Bay12 forums. Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable.


Though many take the yetis to be violent, demented beasts, some have been tamed (with great difficulty) and even integrated into dwarven society. This can be attributed to their joyful and cheery nature; often they can be seen playfully tipping over workshops and 'accidentally' crushing anyone working within. Many dwarves admire this warped sense of humour and the yeti's obvious love of beer, wine and spirits.

When faced with a mighty sasquatch, yetis become immense wimps, despite the Sasquatch being barely any different from them. Dwarven scientists think this is caused by the high contrast between a sasquatch's white skin and brown fur, which makes a simple-minded yeti panic.
