      Honestly though the manual definitely has fuckups, the biggest issue is that giving full overview on every monster would bloat the book to at least twice its size, and probably actually more like quadruple. Don't get me wrong, I would want that Monster Tome, but it would definitely be expensive and quite difficult to handle.

    "Injecting Yeti oil is poisonous"
    Heck, if you are close enough to an enemy, and sneaky enough that you can inject anything, you may as well use something more effective than "it makes your slow."
    A guy walks into a store and says to the clerk: "I want your best ant poison"
    So the clerk gives him one that is guaranteed lethal, and furthermore, will spread to the whole colony!
    Super happy, the client leaves, but comes back after 3 days
    "Your stupid poison does nothing! I even found ants swimming in the stuff!"
    "But sir" -says the clerk- "Didn't you read the instructions?"
    The client feels a little embarrassed when he realizes that no, he didn't read the instructions, so he does so now.

    Alright, somebody needs to put together a campaign, where the BBEG is V.V. Argost--a yeti that was once domesticated and raised by a mad mage (possibly school of enchantment), and through said magic gained enhanced intelligence, and inherited his former master's ambition, and fashioned a mask to conceal his face, and a special cloak to regulate his body heat.

      Evan Ortiz They a bit bigger than normal human and they have 4 arms like the yeti from runtera/LoL. They are insanely strong and surprisingly friends to other races since they aren’t visited much in the harsh cold climates. Whenever they interact with other races, the yeti-bois(working name) don’t recognize their own strengths and usually end up accidentally hurting or breaking something.
      Stats would go along the line of str +2 and wis 1+ or con 1+ depending on a sub race but I haven’t got that far.

    I'm running a DnD campaign based on the Ice Age setting in DnD. After 2 sessions fighting yeti in the wild of the Balduvian Steppes (first without any light or fire to sneak up on them while they slept in a series of ice caves only to be, second at the bottom of a giant crevasse where a herd of mammoths had long-ago been driven to fall to their deaths, forming a mammoth graveyard, their bones picked clean over the years, both fights making much of the yeti's climb speeds to traverse walls and ledges) the one PC, a thug working for Soldev's local crime syndicate before he was caught and conscripted into the army for his crimes, went on a rant about how much he hated yeti and wanted them all dead. Immediately after the second battle, exploring a cave at the bottom of the crevasse he found 2 newborn yeti, immediately changing his tone and adopting them. They've since become the only things the murderous thug loves more than himself, and he once risked his life and saved all of Soldev from the then-villain's attack as the villain's army was threatening Soldev, where the yeti were holed up.

    A series teaching new players how to play would be great, starting with making a new character and playing through a campaign, leveling up and how to continue on afterwards. Or a series where each class is explained and how to play and level them up throughout campaigns.

    I love videos like these, because it makes sense for players to come across all these things.
    I personally would like more videos about overworld animals. Players wouldnt encounter gods, or powerful CR 40 monsters/people, but like, The Flail Snail, or a Yeti.
    Things you dont think about alot in the large expansive world(s) of DND. I like having alot of cool lore about having "normal" creatures.

    i gave my players a talisman of ultimate good as a quest item to be given to the main npc of the campaign with a single use. it was meant to be used on a super mega boss as it was the jurnay to get there not the final battle that mattered. in my encounters i don't pull punch's with what's possible that they can encounter and they did know that yetis although rare are encountered in packs of 3. they were traveling back after obtaining the talisman and they did end up encountering a pack. the rolls i made to determine the type of pack (if they were wounded after a hunt or fight, in fighting condition ect) I rolled the rarest one. 2 normal and 1 abominable yeti. the party was lv 6 average at the time to what i remember but the cleric who had the talismen used it on the abominable yeti saying "nope were not dealing with this" and sent it to its doom.

    Where the horns come from: I don't know if you've noticed, but the D&D version of the Yeti is strikingly similar to another Ice Creature in a very popular sci-fi movie. I speak of the Ice Creature of Hoth. If you look closely, you will see the same curled horns on the one that takes Luke's mount, and again when Luke takes it's arm off.

    Yeti: Has cool eye lids to make it see better in snow storms.
    Snow storms: actually blocks sight by being so dense that the snow flakes in the air make it impossible to see beyond, i.e. white outs.

    Hey Rhexx I just found an interesting monster that really doesn't have much information on it. This thing called a Nagpa is basically a Skeksis from Dark Crystal. It's weird that something seemingly so weak in its statblock has an equal CR to a Death Knight. Maybe give that video some thought?

    I could be wrong here, but I think the horns might come from designs of Norse Trolls and Giants. The Picture at the 10 minute mark really reminds me of that kind of art, on top of being an amazing picture.

    My D&D group has an adopted baby yeti. We were ambushed by a group of them as a random encounter and then the very next random encounter my dm rolled involved finding a baby creature and he was like “…this is the baby of the yetis you killed”. Our druid in particular felt bad and adopted him and now he wears a hat to help keep the sun off him

    Now, I’m sure either you or someone else has noticed this and brought it to your attention, but at 7:22, you said that “there’s two things that... their fur and their eyes.”... “but let’s cover the latter first.” You then go on to talk about their coat. Latter is supposed to mean the second thing stated. Not the first. I’m sure that was a slip of the tongue, soooo I’m wasting my time writing this XD
