A Fate Worse Than Chess is a comic about Saxton Hale, and in it, he fights a Yeti.

Who is Saxton Hale? He is a character from the online game Team Fortress 2 (2007). In the TF2 universe, he's the manly swashbuckling star of his own series of comic books.

Unfortunately, the Yeti only appears in the comics, not in the game itself, so I can't really make this a Yeti Arcade entry.

Not Yeti HEADS! Friday - MODOK

Who's MODOK? I don't mind telling you.

Conceived way back in the 1960's by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, he's a villain in the Marvel Comic Book Universe.

His name is an acronym for Mental/Mobile/Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing.

Yep, the M in his name stands for three different things. So really he's MMMODOK. I urge you to speak his name with the extra M's at the beginning. It makes him sound tasty.

He's basically a big giant head with tiny arms and legs that floats around murdering people.

Honestly, what else do you need to know?

HEADS! 3 (Yeti Arcade: Alice: Madness Returns)

Alice: Madness Returns (2011) had an ice level called Tundrafu, and it featured a giant Yeti head that blows air at you.

This is the only instance that I have on record of a Yeti in the Alice in Wonderland universe. Pretty exciting.

Wonderland already has the Jabberwocky and Bandersnatch but no Yeti until now. Thanks, American!
