Laughing yeti

laughing yeti

You unilaterally decide your foe needs a slick new look and pull them into a whirlwind costume montage.

And... magnifique!

This was a great choice. People should really dress up, or be dressed up, as yetis more often.

Little known fact: Yetis have the best sense of humor of all cryptids.

Granted, that's kind of a low bar. I mean, mokole-mbembe still think the knock-knock joke is humanity's greatest gift to life on this planet.
Your opponent attacks ...

Miss messages:

• The yeti tries to tell a joke, but a heckler in the crowd just keeps yelling "Play Freebird!" That... doesn't even make sense.
• The yeti launches into a monologue about heroes, but you nod off after the third "Why is it that heroes..."
• The yeti cracks a joke, but you don't laugh. Then it gets all huffy and calls you a Neanderthal, which is actually kind of funny.

How to Encounter

• Using Disguise Foe skill on foes whose name starts with L or Y.

Notes

• Foes's stats and drops will be replaced by those of the disguised form.

• Using ionic tonic doesn't change the resulting disguise, and the resulting foe keeps the ionic in the name as well as the electrical weakness.
• Foes that can't be replicated also can't be disguised with the exception of:

Scaling foes;

Foes from The streets of Somerset;

footpath footpad and ghost of X;

References

• A cryptid is defined as "a creature or plant whose existence has been suggested but is not recognized by scientific consensus". The yeti and the mokele-mbembe are both cryptids.
• The first miss message refers to the tradition of an audience member jokingly requesting the song "Free Bird" regardless of the performer's style.
