Before the 5.7.1 update, the player would get a notification that told them which world and level the Treasure Yeti would be found in. He could be found in any world and almost any level the player had beaten. (exceptions being boss and Gargantuar levels) After he was killed, he would drop a lunch box that contained 1000 coins or a key (before the 1.7 update). He would not appear more than once per day.
A rare and curious creature, he always packs a lunch.

Overview[]
Chinese version and international version (pre-5.7.1)[]
The Treasure Yeti absorbs 680 damage and his appearance changes at 340 damage before dying at 680 damage. The Treasure Yeti drops a lunchbox when killed but runs away after a short while.
International version (version 6.5.1 only)[]
The Yeti absorbs 720 damage and degrades at 180 (when it loses its arm), 360 and 540 damage, before dying at 720 damage.
Arena/Penny's Pursuit[]
Treasure Yeti absorbs 6500 damage and his appearance changes at 1625 (when it loses its arm), 3250 and 4875 damage before dying at 6500 damage. The Treasure Yeti also eats twice as fast here. In Arena and Score-based Penny's Pursuit levels, the Treasure Yeti scores for 30000 points when killed.
Just use the same strategy used for Zombie Yeti in the original Plants vs. Zombies. However, he walks backwards a while after anything attacks him, usually when he gets to the sixth tile from the right. It is recommended to use plants such as Repeaters, Bonk Choys, Snapdragons, Coconut Cannons, Citrons, or any offensive plant with Plant Food to quickly kill him. As long as you manage to kill him quickly, you will have his lunchbox, which gives you 1000 coins.
If you have trouble with getting him to stay, you can use immobilizing plants. Kernel-pult's butter, Iceberg Lettuce's Plant Food ability, or Fanilla's tornadoes can immobilize the zombie with low sun cost (or 1 Plant Food for Iceberg Lettuce). The E.M.Peach can also make him stay, as he is a mechanical zombie.
You can also use instant kill plants like Cherry Bombs, Jalapenos, Chili Beans to kill him quickly. Never use a boosted Sun Bean, as he will not give you a lunchbox. He will also not drop his lunchbox if he is thrownintotheair and a Blover is used. While he is walking backwards to leave the lawn, do not use Hurrikale on the lane he is at, since you will give him the chance to leave quickly before you kill him.
Unlike the Zombie Yeti, he won't eat plants behind him. So, if the player tries to stop the Treasure Yeti when he is escaping by planting something like a Wall-nut behind him, the Treasure Yeti will just walk backwards right through the Wall-nut and go off-screen.
Using Power Ups that are not free are not recommended. If you spend more than 1000 coins, you will suffer a net loss of coins. However, if you have it, (from endless zones), power toss is the most effective option.
Remember to complete the level also. You will not receive your coins without completing the level. Even if you lose the level in the middle or at the end after the Yeti was killed because of the failed objective, another zombie ate your brains, or restarted voluntarily by the player, you will still let the Yeti "leave" and you will not get the coins.
Unlike his Plants vs. Zombies counterpart, the Zombie Yeti, the Treasure Yeti is a robot. This means that if he eats a Hypno-shroom or is attacked by Caulipower, he will be restored to full health.
In the "You got a Present!" notification, there was a button called "open all." This is because the player could get more than one lunchbox when they killed a Treasure Yeti.
The player could also do this by having the Pea Pod glitch happen. However, this was patched in the 2.2 update, though it is possible to do so via using a boosted Citron.
This does not happen as often as it does with just one lunchbox.
The lunchbox had a picture of the Treasure Yeti opening a treasure chest on it.
In each world except Wild West and every world starting with Dark Ages, the Treasure Yeti wore unique costumes.
It is possible to let the Treasure Yeti eat the player's brains by using power toss or Breakdancer Zombie to move him closer to the house. If he walks back, the Breakdancer will kick him forwards.
Like most other robots, he is immune to Chili Bean's and Stunion's stunning gas, though not Garlic.
Mount Brainer in his Almanac entry is a reference to Mount Rainier, a real-life mountain in The United States.
If a boosted Citron shoots plasma at him, he will be knocked off the screen, unlike most machines in Far Future.
He cannot be knocked back by Spring Bean, but he also cannot destroy a Spring Bean that is ready to bounce. Instead of going through him, he will just stand on him and eat him until another zombie makes Spring Bean bounce.
The Treasure Yeti is one of the few Zombies who is immune to the petrifying gaze of the Zombie Medusa.
