Yeti

The yeti (Tibetan: &#x0F42;&#x0F61;&#x0F60;&#x0F0B;&#x0F51;&#x0FB2;&#x0F7A;&#x0F51;&#x0F0B;; g.ya'dred [pronounced: ya teh], "rock bear"), also called the Abominable Snowman, is a cryptid of the Himalayan region in Central Asia. According to popular accounts, it is a human-like (or ape-like) creature of great size, covered with long hair, having a notably strong, distinctive odour.

Legends
The syncretic figure of the Abominable Snowman is drawn from the mythologies and accounts of the native Tibetan and Nepalese peoples, among others, including the Tibetan yeti, as well as the miche (from Tibetan: མི་དྲེད; mi dred, michê, "man-bear"), migoi or mi-go (from Tibetan: མི་རྒོད; mi rgod, migö/mirgö, "wild man"), bun manchi (from Nepali for "jungle man"), mirka (from Nepali for "wild man"), and kang admi ("snow man").
