It is said the Tibetan word "yeti" means 'rock bear'. But yeti is usually depicted as more ape than bear, so it should really be 'rock ape'.
There is actually a famous Rock Ape in popular culture.
Igoo the Rock Ape from the 1960's Saturday morning cartoon show, The Herculoids.
Igoo was a good guy, one of the Herculoids. His rock skin was impenetrable and he was pretty strong.
Igoo and the Herculoids were created by the GENIUS GOD Alex Toth. I previously blogged about Toth and his Snowmen.

Oh yeah. The Herculoids rocked. Good call on the rock ape translation.
