abominable snow monster

Legendary mountain beast

An abominable snow monster is a yeti or similar large, fearsome creature said to inhabit snowy mountain regions.

The phrase gained wide recognition through the animated television special *Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer*, where the Abominable Snow Monster (nicknamed "Bumble") menaces the characters before being reformed.

The term is now used playfully for any intimidating snow-dwelling beast in fiction.
