Y
Yeti
Native to Tibet, this
tall (up to 15 feet) white-furred humanoid creature may be related to the
troll (unlike
giants, the yeti fears fire), but as it will
attempt to attack and eat any human (or just about anything else, for that
matter) that it meets, no witch or wizard has had an opportunity to study
a living yeti at close range. Ironically, however,
Tibet is one of the
most persistent offenders of
Clause 73 of the International Code
of Wizarding Secrecy due to the number of yeti sightings by Muggles, to
the point that a permanent International Task Force is stationed in
Tibet
to help control the situation
(FB).
Yeti were discussed in Harry's second-year Defence Against the Dark Arts class (CS10), as one of Lockhart's books was Year with the Yeti. |
