History
The Yeti's were actually robotic constructs that served the entity known as the Great Intelligence. This non-corporeal entity took over the body of Padmasambhava, the lama of Det-Sen Monastery, and built the Yeti over hundreds of years. The Yeti were initially a ruse to scare off curiosity seekers from the mountain cave where the Intelligence planned to manifest; later, they became more of an army serving the Great Intelligence. These robots were similar in appearance to what explorer Professor Edward Travers called "real" Yeti. (Episode: The Abominable Snowmen)
In 1935, the Second Doctor who had been a friend of Padmasambhava's arrived in the Himalayas with his companions Victoria and Jamie. Along with Professor Travers, they put an end to the Great Intelligence's plan when Jamie smashed the pyramid control in the cave. However, Travers spotted a living Yeti as he parted ways with the Doctor and company. (Episode: The Abominable Snowmen)
Overview
In appearance, the Yeti were bipdal robots that were large and hairy to disguise themselves in the Himalayas. Their claws, feet, and eyes were the only parts not covered in fur; their claws and feet were black and bumpy, their teeth yellow, and their eyes green. (Episode: The Abominable Snowmen)
Notes
