The Yeti has become a cultural icon, appearing in movies, books and video games. The creature is usually depicted as the scary "Abominable Snowman", but is occasionally shown as being misunderstood or used as comic relief.
In the video game Destroy All Humans 2, Russian Yeti sightings are revealed to be caused by an Alien species called the Blisk. However, while basically humanoid in shape the Blisk do not resemble the traditional Yeti appearance (the Blisk are reptillian with crab-like characteristics).
The Yeti features greatly in a ride in Disney World's Animal Kingdom. A Yeti (in the form of a computer generated shadow and a large robotic creature) attacks a mountain train.
In the graphic novel Books of Doom, young Victor Von Doom is attacked by a Yeti. Unlike most incarnations, this version of the Yeti has a less human wolf-like head.
Yeti are a common monster in the Mountains of the MMORPG MapleStory, and come in a number of varieties.
A yeti will apparently appear in The Mummy 3.
