Yeti (Doctor Who)

The Yeti of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, 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 plane, 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.

Other appearances

Yeti also feature in the spin-off video Downtime, which was also novelised as part of Virgin's Missing Adventures range. The Yeti also appear in the Missing Adventure Millennial Rites by Craig Hinton, which claims the Great Intelligence is actually H.P. Lovecraft's Yog-Sothoth, a being from the universe before this one. The canonicity of these spin-offs is unclear.
