Abominable Snowmen (Yeti)
The Abominable Snowmen (sometimes referred to as Yeti) were robotic servants of the Great Intelligence. They were mostly used as guardians but later were used as military.
History
Because real Yeti are based in myth, no one knows if these robots were modeled after the real Yeti or that these were the origin of the myths.
Construction
These robots were large and hairy, mostly used to disguise themselves in the Himalayas. The only parts of them not covered with fur were their eyes, feet and claws. The Yeti came in three versions: Mark I was big and looked more like a bear where the Mark II’s that were discovered in the underground of London could wield guns and were smaller. The Mark IIIs were created using nanotechnology and atomic engineering.
Both forms of Yeti had flaps in their chest which housed their control spheres. These provided power to the robots and were used as their brain. The control spheres for the Mark III robots could actually plunge into a human chest converting the human into a yeti.
