Yeti

Yetis are North's workers at the North Pole, as well as a formidable force on behalf of the Guardians. They make the toys while the elves "test" them.

History
Yetis fist evolved 2 million years ago in Africa. By the mid pleistocene epoch the yetis first crossed the land bridges into Asia and north america. After fleeing from Africa the lands where they inhabited turned cold and became covered by ice, in order to adapt to their changing environment they had to evolve extra thick coats in order to thrive in the freezing conditions. By the end of the ice ages the yetis in Europe and Russia had died out do to the over flooding of their habitat. The last remaining yetis had to seek out land that was the least effected by the melting wide spread ice. By 10,000 BC a small clan of yetis escaped to the northern arctic and found sanctuary with in the glacial caves. As time passed they learned to use tools and became very handy with objects. The yetis became so well adapted in hands on activities that they managed to create your own little inventions, centuries later North came across the yeti's tribe and found use for them. As the years passed they built a large settlement together and created their own factory.

Appearance
The Yeti is an ape-like creature that is a close relative to australopithecus and gigantopithecus. They are taller than an average man but they are same height as North. It can walk like a man and has long white or brown hairs covering its whole body. Colors vary between the books and the film: In the books, they're snowy white to match the camouflage of the Himalayas. And in the film, they come in different colors: reddish brown, bluish gray, cream, coffee, light gray, white and light brown.

Personality
Despite their brutish appearance, the Yetis show a smart and reserved attitude to their behavior. They all hold incredible loyalty towards North and his cause, working endlessly for years till every Christmas.

The Yetis all speak in a garbled, incomprehensable language that North (and possibly the other Guardians) seem to understand.

Over the main fireplace in the workshop, there displays a mural depicting North shaking hands with a Yeti with the rest following suite, meaning that North may have had earned their respect in some manner.

Powers and Abilities
Physically, the Yetis are large and imposing, being able to destroy Nightmares with their bare-hands. With that said, they are also capable of delicate work like toy-making, being responsible for the construction of toys for children all over the world.

Their full nature is seldom touched upon within the film's and fandom's mythology. Jack, who is over 300 years old, stated that he tried to break into the workshop for years and was unable to enter, a yeti named Phil holding a particular history with the winter spirit. Whether or not this means the Yetis are immortal or can simply live for a long time in unknown. It is possible that the Yetis rely on North and his natural magic as a spirit in the same way that Tooth's fairies do to Toothiana, though this is never confirmed

It is shown that photographic evidence of them is apparent among mortals, Phil autographing Jamie's cryptid book when he saw his photograph within its pages. Whether this means that one needs to believe in Bigfoot and cameras are simply able to bypass this rule amongst immortals or that they can be seen by anybody is unknown.

Weapons
The yetis have an amazing arsenal of gleaming clubs, swords and spearguns, all forged with the dust of fallen stars. One of the most common choice of weapon is the arrow gun with mountain-to-mountain accuracy and a few of the named weapons include, the knuckler, Abominable Mood Swing and the Dinner Knife. The Abominable Mood Swing in particular is one of the most feared that only a few may wield, such as Yaloo, leader of the Yetis.
