"4 Yetti [sic] footprints: True sighting or another prank?"
The Quibbler[src]

The Yeti (also known as the Abominable Snowman or Bigfoot) is a magical beast native to Tibet.[1]

Description

Standing up to 15 feet tall, it is a snowy-white furred humanoid that may be related to the troll. Yetis are one of the Wizarding world's worst kept secrets as there had been so many Muggle sightings of the Yeti. Because of this Tibet has one of the worst Wizarding secrecy records, due to its continuing breaches of Clause 73 of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. The International Confederation of Wizards had to place a permanent International Task Force up in the mountains to help control the situation.[1]

The Yeti's alternate name of Bigfoot can also be used to refer to the sasquatch.[1]

The Yeti fears fire, allowing for skilled wizards and witches to repel it. However, the Yeti will attack and eat anything that it meets, so no witch or wizard has had the opportunity to study it up close yet.[1]

In 1992, Gilderoy Lockhart taught his second year Defence Against the Dark Arts class about the Yeti, using his book Year with the Yeti.[3] However, based on his fraudulence, his information is taken from a more accomplished wizard or witch and his own version was twisted with inaccuracy and arrogance.[4]
