Gestaf

 is an Allowak yeti the Mighty Nein and Dagen Underthorn encountered on the island of Foren in Eiselcross. As an NPC, is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Gestaf is, like his compatriots, a tall but squat-looking humanoid figure with thick, coarse, white hair all over his body, except for the hands and face, which are bare skin of a dull grey, almost blue, color. He is noticeably taller than his 10- to 12-foot tall fellow yetis, however, a "hulking behemoth", and he carries a giant, jagged hook spear. His eyes glow with a piercing, light blue rage when he fights and especially when he uses his Chilling Gaze ability.

Personality
Because so many people from the Balenpost end of the island come to Allowak territory as poachers and have killed a few yetis rather than talk, Gestaf has learned to attack first. So he and his fellows ambushed the Mighty Nein and Dagen Underthorn, but as the fight went very poorly he surrendered—though he almost restarted the fight when Caduceus, having been turned into a mammoth and rendered uncomprehending of surrender, knocked his fellow yeti unconscious; fortunately, Yasha brought the yeti back to consciousness with her aasimar healing.
