The Yeti robots 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. The "Mark I"s were bigger and more bear-like, whereas the "Mark II"s in London had better-defined hands capable of wielding web-guns. These Yeti had flaps at their chest which hid the control spheres that provided their motive power, serving as a brain. Yeti could also be directed somewhere through the use of a locus. Until activated, Yeti could stand immobile for long periods, completely shut down and unaware of what went on around it. When instructions did arrive, it would come to life and begin moving.

abstract
  • The Yeti robots 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. The first Yeti were bigger and more bear-like, whereas the "Mark II"s, as the Second Doctor called them, in London had better-defined hands capable of wielding web-guns. These Yeti had flaps at their chest which hid the control spheres that provided their motive power, serving as a brain. Yeti could also be directed somewhere through the use of a locus. Until activated, Yeti could stand immobile for long periods, completely shut down and unaware of what went on around it. When instructions did arrive, it would come to life and begin moving. (TV: The Abominable Snowmen, The Web of Fear) New World University's research into nanotechnology and atomic engineering produced Yeti that resembled the "Mark I" models. A control sphere could plunge itself into a human chest, nano-instructions inducing immediate atomic restructuring and multiplication until the person became a Yeti. Whether this meant they were organic or cyborgs is unclear, but these Yeti had yellow fangs and were more susceptable to projectile fire. They could also fire web from their claws. (PROSE: Downtime) Yeti created by the Intelligence at the end of its life (called "Mark III" Yeti by Humans as the Intelligence had traveled back in time to before the events where it had created the New World Yeti) were different from previous versions. They had longer claws and were much larger than previous incarnations; allowing for them to grab human beings by the throat with one hand. They did not operate by the metal spheres as before, as to remove an obvious design flaw which could be utilized by the humans. These Yeti could continue to operate after their fur outlining had been destroyed, and were impervious to bombs. (PROSE: The Forgotten Son)

Until activated, Yeti could stand immobile for long periods, completely shut down and unaware of what went on around it. When instructions did arrive, it would come to life and begin moving. The "Mark III" Yeti retained the same appearance but were the result of New World University's research into nanotechnology and atomic engineering. A control sphere could plunge itself into a human chest, nano-instructions inducing immediate atomic restructuring and multiplication until the person became a Yeti. Whether this meant they were organic or cyborgs is unclear, but these Yeti had yellow fangs and were more susceptable to projectile fire. They could also fire web from their claws.
