Cyclops 3: From Outer Space (plus Yeti Arcade: Starbound)

In the game Starbound (2013), one can wear a suit of Vanity Armor (or as I call it "Valiancy Armor") as a cyclops yeti.

X Plus' Space Cyclop was a designer toy made in 2008:

TV show, Lost in Space (1965), had a giant space cyclops yeti in the fourth episode.

Yeti loves cats.

There's a brand new preschool kids show on Amazon Prime - just a pilot - but response is very positive so a full series seems possible - that is about a cat who is friends with a yeti!

It's stop-motion animated (yay, stop-motion!) and it's called: The Curious Kitty & Friends

An example of the Relucant Monster trope.

Although I can't find official confirmation, it seems pretty clear that The Curious Kitty & Friends is an American adaptation of a Japanese kids show -   Little Nekko 꼬마네꼬 - which also had the same yeti friend for the purrtagonist. But he looks a lot less polished and friendly than the American version.

See what I mean?

Female yeti is the star of comedic NZ tv series:  Yeti.

Description: "Yeti is an indigenous creature from somewhere near the Himalayas who finds herself coming to terms with life in her new home, New Zealand. Made with funding from NZ On Air."

The Outer Limits' Gordon's Ghost (aka Chill Charlie, aka The Incredible Ice Man)

Season 1, episode 8 of The Outer Limits (aired November 11, 1963) is "The Human Factor".

At a remote military installation in Northern Greenland, a guilt-ridden soldier is haunted by his dead private's ghost, which resembles a creepy ice creature.

And the yeti connection such as it is would end there, except...

"Interestingly, a much cooler version, translucent with glowing eyes, was built but ultimately not used. Dubbed “Chill Charlie,” the statue has somehow managed to endure as an iconic TOL creature, whereas Gordon’s Ghost is largely forgotten outside the context of the episode." Source

Here's a collectible figurine made of "Chill Charlie":

And recent fan art:

In 1964 trading cards were produced to showcase the Outer Limits' monsters, and they picked Chill Charlie to "lead the pack" as it were:

They also changed his name to the Incredible Ice Man, and gave him a backstory set in the Himalayas, so yeah : Yeti.

Though the likeness on the front of the card is still Private Gordon's Ghost from the TV ep:

The character was so popular it was one of the main subjects of this puzzle:

Monday's Troll by Jack Prelutsky and Peter Sis (1996) ...

Has this poem and illustration:

A SOLITARY YETI

I'm a solitary yeti,

Traversing frozen plains,

Upon a constant lookout

For dinosaur remains.

I savor them for supper,

I relish them for lunch,

Their flavor is peculiar,

But I adore the crunch.
