Description

Yeti are hulking monstrosities that stalk alpine peaks in a ceaseless hunt for food. Their snow-white fur lets them move like ghosts against the frozen landscape. This Yeti was formerly an abominable yeti that was king of the Baratok mountains. It was killed by Strahd and resurrected to be his guardian for the northern realms of his domain. It roams and attacks anyone who enters the mountains. Other mountain creatures recognize its roars and flee in fear. 

The trek up the mountain should be difficult for the party, and they should have levels of exhaustion if they are not wearing appropriate clothing. 

Lair and Lair Actions

The zombombinable yeti lives in a large icy cave high in the Baratok mountains.  Its walls and ceiling are layered with ice and stone, and the floor is littered with the bones of its victims. 

On initiative count 20 the Yeti can take one of the following lair actions:

- The roars of the yeti cause stalactites to fall on 3 areas in the lair.  The stalactites count as snilloc's snowball swarm, DC 18 dex save. The areas selected can be centered on a creature. 

- a  3 zombie winter wolves rise from the piles of bones somewhere in the arena (once per day)

- The chilling cold air freezes a patch of ground in the area, making a 20 foot radius patch of ground ice, any creatures standing on the patch must make a DC 18 dex save or fall prone. Any creatures moving over the ground must also make the saving throw or fall prone.
