Arcane Legions Yeti

Arcane Legions is a table-top miniature wargame.


One of the armies you can play is the Han Dynasty, which has a Chinese culture theme.



The Yeti are a character in the game. Here's what the yeti ultimately looks like as a figure:


This isn't the first time that yeti has been associated with Chinese culture as a kind of representative - where someone said, "China?", and the answer was: "Yeti!".

The two examples that leap to mind are:

* The film The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
* DC Comics' The Great Ten

I wonder if people from Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, etc. mind?

After all, the Chinese have their own yeti: The Yeren!
