Yeti is a playable character in LEGO Batman: The Videogame.
Description[]
The Yeti appears in LEGO Batman: The Videogame, resembling a white version of Killer Croc without the scales and blue jeans. The Yeti carries a pistol as a weapon and may be unlocked for purchase after the level Penguin's Lair.
Background[]
The Yeti appears on several boxes in Mr. Freeze's ice cream factory.
There is some speculation about what role the Yeti plays in the video game, some say it is one of Mr. Freeze's henchman, and others suggest that it is one of Batman's minor enemies known as "Snowman", it could also be a reference to Yetis, a race of humanoid creatures that appeared in the comics, or Hu Wei, a metahuman who could transform into a yeti. It should be noted that the Yeti is never fought and is not unlocked after Mr. Freeze is defeated like his henchwomen are.
The Snowman[]
Klaus Kristin was the crossbred-species son of a human woman and a male yeti. His mother was a UN diplomat who had to travel to the Himalayas where she got lost and was saved by a yeti while unknowing of his species.
Due to his unique physiology, Klaus had super-strength but also required vast amounts of money to treat his various genetic-conditions. As such he became a winter athlete who lead a double-life of crime to obtain money for his condition. This eventually lead to him coming into conflict with Batman who learned of his true-nature.
