Hotwheels Battle Force 5 vs. Yeti

Hotwheels Battle Force 5 (2009-2011) episode 17 of Season 1, "Cold As Ice", has a giant Yeti attacking the cars.

This view of the Yeti was very hard to track down and the photo's way blurry. How apropos!

Roswell Conspiracies vs. Yeti

Never heard of this cartoon, but maybe it was after my time.

Roswell Conspiracies: Aliens, Myths, and Legends (1999-2000)

I wonder if it was riding the X-files buzz which was in full effect then.

Here's the plot for the episode "Mountain Retreat":

When an Alliance team disappears in the Himalayas, Rinaker sends Nick and Sh'lainn to investigate without informing them that the top Alliance echelon had cut a deal with the Lycanthrope. In exchange for the Alliance tracking down the Yeti, former slaves of the Lycanthropes, Ruk guarantees that the werewolves and their Yeti slaves will leave the planet forever. But the Yeti are guarding a secret weapon stored in a mountain cache â€“ and the Lycanthrope will do anything to get it back.
