yeti

Abominable snow creature

A yeti is a large, ape-like creature said to inhabit the Himalayan mountains—the "abominable snowman" of Tibetan folklore.

Like Bigfoot in North America, the yeti occupies cryptozoology: reported sightings persist despite no confirmed evidence.

The word extends to anything elusive or legendary: Finding good help around here is like hunting for a yeti.
