Kids Cartoon: Everything Else

I've combed through a LOT of kids cartoons over the years, searching for the yeti. And except for a few exceptions (I'm looking at you, DoDo: The Kid from Outer Space!) , I think I've found pretty much all of them. Do let me know if I missed any!!

In the interest of thoroughness, here are the ones I haven't posted about yet.

The brand new, rebooted Powerpuff Girls had yeti!

Particularly, a snowboarding, hat-wearing, using ice-as-weapon, kinda fella. Named Zack.

It aired July 2016.

Previously, only the comic book had an abominable snowman.

Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja (2014), Season 2, Episode 19: "Happy Hanukkah, Howard Weinerman!"

In the "OOPS, I MISSED THIS" category, there's this one from 2014 I had no idea about.

It features:

Ninja vs. Yeti-bot

"More Ninjas" was # 4 on 2015 Wish List - already granted gloriously in May, but this is a Yeti Robot and I did another post in May about them, too. So this is a double plus good yeti find.

Camp Lazlo (2005-2008): has Carl the Yeti:

----------

Wallykazam! (2014 to present): has Betty Yeti, a snow-boarding female yeti and a good friend of the protagonist

Bubble Guppies

The Amazing Adventures of Morph

Yeti Loves Ice Spikes Growing Out of His Skin, Apparently

Minjun Kim

What does that even mean, having ice spikes grow out of the skin? Biologically speaking, I mean.

Is one's skeleton made of ice too?

I wonder if Frozen's Marshmallow is partly an inspiration for this trend.

Or maybe it comes from Star Trek's Mugato, the original spike-backed ape-beast:

Or Doomsday?

Oh also Ice-Hulk.

I mean, it's not totally brand new. Spikes have been growing out of yeti's back for a while now - as you can see: here, here, here, here, here, here (Winx Club), & in last year's Lara Croft game.

But there seems to be a definite spike in popularity. Without further ado, here are a bunch more examples I found that stuck out at me:

Defender of Texel (2013):

Dungeon Fighter Online (2010):

Kymera Keeper (2012):

Tiny Monsters (2013):

A Lenda Do Herói (2016):

Has regular yetis

But the big boss got lots of sprouting ice back-spikes

Even Snow Trolls are getting backsicles.

[Mammal Week] Yeti Arcade: Mammal Roundup

Pigs vs. Yeti

Got two games featuring pigs vs. yeti for you, for some reason...

> Frozen Tales (2015):

Looks like a regular yeti game, right?

Except...

Description:

"In the animal world, the fight between piggies and yetis has been around for a while, your mission in this intuitive arcade, is to move away the snowballs to prevent the yeti from killing the adorable baby pigs that one day will fight the yetis for you."

> Yeti and Pigs (2014):

Description:

Yeti and Pigs is an exciting and dynamic game in which you have to defend helpless piglets against the invasion of yetis. This action game takes place in a snowy forest, whose territory is divided into two parts: a village with pigs occupies one half and a camp of yetis is on the other side. Your goal will be to defend against swift raids of savages by throwing snowballs fast and accurately. Good luck!
