Y ~ Yeti - The Yeti encountered by the Doctor, although resembling the cryptozoological creatures also called the Yeti, are in actuality alien robots. Their external appearance, that of a huge hairy biped, disguises a small spherical mechanism that provides its motive power. The Yeti serve the Great Intelligence, a disembodied entity from another planet, which tried to form a physical body in order to conquer the Earth. The Yeti are initially a ruse to scare off curiosity seekers, and later form an army serving the Great Intelligence.
They appeared in the 1967 story The Abominable Snowmen, the 1968 story The Web of Fear, briefly in the 1983 story The Five Doctors (in all three alongside Patrick Troughton as "The Doctor"), and in the straight-to-video production Downtime in 1995 which starred Elisabeth Sladen as "Sarah Jane Smith", Nicholas Courtney as "Brigadier Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart", and Deborah Watling as "Victoria Waterfield".
