Talk:Yeti

Russian Toys?
I've been doing a bit of research to the Yeti's Japanse names, and I think they, and some of their appearance, may both be based on Russian toys. With Yeta, theis is probably no surprise. "Matōnya" looks a lot like "Matryona", after which the Matryoshka dolls are named. This would account for her face/head shape, overall form and lack of arms. In the same vein with Yeto, "Dosankov" could be based on "Dymkovo". The details of Yeto's fur and the huge tail would seem to be appropriate for the toys, but the lack of color has me doubting. So, I'd like to hear others' thoughts on the likeness the Yetis are designed around Russian toys. IfIHaveTo 03:36, 16 September 2010 (EDT)
 * Yeta's reference to Matryoshkas is already pointed out in the Blizzeta page. Also, remember that talk pages are for improvements on the articles, not the subject of said articles. --K2L (Interrogatory) 12:43, 16 September 2010 (EDT)
 * And finding support for potential information is not for improvement how? IfIHaveTo 14:11, 16 September 2010 (EDT)
 * Aahhh, but you didn't say you wanted to use that information for its inclusion in the article =P. Okay, read well: When Yeta turns into Blizzeta, its first form is that of a Matryoshka doll, not only in shape but also because of the outer designs of the icy creature. Also, consider that the Yeti live in Snowpeak, a place as cold as Russia itself, and both places are deep north of their respective locations (Hyrule and Eurasia, respectively). Perhaps the Snowpeak arc as a whole is a reference to Russian cultural history? --K2L (Interrogatory) 14:27, 16 September 2010 (EDT)

Image
Wouldn't it be better to use the images from Yeta and Yeto's pages? I think it would look far better than the current image. Is it alright if I change it?--Fierce diety 08:11, 11 May 2011 (EDT)
