Down from the mountains, out from the snows, past the ancient fountains, and come to deliver fatal blows; he is the Man of the Blizzard, the Warrior of the Winter, the Philosopher of the Ice; he is... the Yeti King!
—Traditional Ethereal Demesnes one-line story about the Yeti King

The Yeti King, also known as the Most Abominable of all the Snowmen, the Man of the Blizzard, the Warrior of the Winter, the Philosopher of the Ice, the Chief of the Kelyetshams, the Lord of the Aethiirouk, or the Champion of the Ethereal Wookiees, and possibly many other nicknames, was an ancient leader of the Ethereal subspecies of the Wookiee species of Kashyyyk. A semi-mythological figure, the Yeti King was said to never die, having purportedly been one of the original Wookiees brought by the Ethereal Family to Ethereal Space, though while the original Yeti King was certainly one of these, as records still remained of his service in the Celestial-Rakata War and the Ethereal-Rakata Continuation Wars even as long after as the Galactic Civil War, it remained unknown whether he was even capable of having lived thousands of years continuously or whether the role of the Yeti King was instead passed down through generations, perhaps in a similar means to the Jaridu, the traditional leader of Zarkidan Stav's government, the Holiest Coalition, who "reincarnated" via technological means, transferring memories and consciousness to new bodies over generations. Among the Yeti King's own particular race of the various Ethereal Wookiee subspecies, the Kelyetshams, he was said to be "older" than the four sub-races, the Nyiialshams, the Chuutiishams, the Rangshiimshams, and the Xuechuushams, and, partly as a consequence of this belief, he was the "King" of all four (supposedly ruling from a massive monastery complex); as they were commonly collectively referred to as "Yeti(s)" in Basic, he thus became known in Basic as the legendary "Yeti King". Appearing at various points in galactic history, the Yeti King was said to have been a student of many of the Ethereal masters of the Force, among various other practices and traditions, including the Ethereal Family themselves, the five Champions of the Ethereal Empire during the Ethereal-Rakata Continuation Wars' initial phase, and the Jaridu, and subsequently was a master himself to various others throughout history, including several major historical figures such as Carolus, Atheria, and Arius Valdayn, and the Programmable Matter Replicate of Vector Hex. Also of note is his physical description, as both historical records and mythos described the Yeti King as being enormous even for a Wookiee, standing at least 2.6 meters tall, broad-shouldered, and heavily muscular, wielding a massive, rune-covered, "magically-imbued" great sword similar to a zweihänder, wearing pieces of gold, platinum, and jewel-encrusted armor, also coated in runes and purportedly "magical", complete with certain jewelry, including a crown fused with a helmet.
