* BigheartedBigfoot: Actually a big hearted yeti. He never harms anyone in the book and even helps the kids get out of his cave and undoes the damage his snow causes toward the end.
Added DiffLines:
* FellAsleepStandingUp: An intentionally self inflicted example. He freezes himself when he sleeps and is left in a standing position.

* MisplacedWildlife: Yeti traditionally come from the Himalayas, not Alaska.
* MissingReflection: He is either imperceptible to cameras or has the power to remove evidence of his existence, as he does not show up in the photos taken of him when they are developed.

* BerserkButton: Do not treat the Abominable Snowman as a joke, given how much he gets angry at Mr. Blake doing so. And you ''really'' shouldn't pull a prank to trick him into thinking that the monster passed through. Jordan was quite scared at how angry this made him.
* ChildHater: He is very much not happy when he finds out that Mr. Blake brought his kids along, and really doesn't appreciate their antics and the fact that they treat the legend of the Abominable Snowman like a joke.
* TheComicallySerious: He takes his job very seriously, telling the Blake family to stop fooling around and get to the cabin. He also doesn't understand Jordan's jokes at all, especially when he tries to include him in it.
* DirtyCoward: When the worst comes to show, he gathers most of the sled dogs he brought along and leaves the cabin with the Blake family inside, seemingly not caring if the Abominable Snowman attacks them.
* IgnoredExpert: Every time he tries to tell Mr. Blake and his children about the dangers that come with looking for the Abominable Snowman. Whenever he brings up how they need to stay safe in the tundra, they shrug off his warnings. And whenever he tries to tell them the local tragedies that have happened from people trying to find the Abominable Snowman, the Blake's don't take him seriously. This is probably part of the reason why he decides to abandon them.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jorabomsnow.jpg]]
The main protagonist. His father brings him and his sister on a trip to Alaska, in an exhibition to find the Abominable Snowman.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: The ''Goosebumps Graphix'' version changes his name to Luis Garcia.
* BadassAdorable: As with Nicole, he manages to brave the frozen wastes of Antarctica with only Nicole for company. Not bad for a 12 year old.
* BigBrotherBully: A likely unintentional example: he comes across as rather harsh towards Nicole. She is admittedly kind of a [[InsufferableGenius Know it all]] but she doesn't really mean to be and just has bad social skills, meaning his treatment of her comes across badly. One also gets the feeling he is jealous of her due to her being basically a child prodigy while he's just a normal kid.
* FireForgedFriends: In an unusual example, Jordan and Nicole count as this. While he actively dislikes her at first, after their adventure in Alaska where they find the snowman (complete with Nicole saving his life once) they seem to get a long a lot better.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He feels horrified and guilty when [[spoiler:his idea to bring out snowballs from the monster's den causes Nicole to freeze up when one of them hits her.]]
* PlatonicLifePartners: He is this with Lauren, a girl who lives by her house. He mentions how he's been best friends with her for years.
* RaceLift: In the Graphix adaptation of this book, Jordan has his name changed to "Luis Garcia" and is shown with black hair, hinting that he has been changed to Hispanic.

Jordan's sister.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: The ''Goosebumps Graphix'' version changes her name to Ana Garcia.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: She annoys Jordan with her know-it-all personality.
* BadassAdorable: She doesn't do any fighting, but is pretty good at surviving in the cold for an 11 year old.
* CoveredInGunge: At one point she is having a squirt gun fight with some neighborhood bullies. She accidentally falls into the neighborhood compost heap and gets covered in slimy decaying plant matter. Jordan sees this about to happen ahead of time but [[WhatTheHellHero just lets her fall in because he's annoyed with her at the time.]]
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Responsible to Jordan's foolish.
* GradeSkipper: She's so smart that she skipped fifth grade and got into Jordan's class.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's described early on as having blond hair and, once you get past her [[InsufferableGenius more annoying traits]] she has a pretty good heart as well.
* InsufferableGenius: She's really smart for her age but has pretty bad social skills, which really annoys Jordan.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She actually turns out to be a pretty good person. She helps Jordan when he falls into a hole in Alaska (which is how they find the Snowman), and even seems to feel sympathy for the Snowman when he gets loose (which makes sense when you think about it: He's basically been kidnapped, is likely really hot and uncomfortable, and [[NonMaliciousMonster just wants to find some food and shelter.]]
* RaceLift: Like Jordan, the Graphix adaptation has her with black hair and changed to a Hispanic name.

* ContinuityNod: His TrademarkFavoriteFood is referenced in the movie when he breaks into a vending machine.
* {{Expy}}: He's basically a yeti version of Franchise/KingKong, complete with the "kidnapped from his exotic land and escapes to go on a rampage bit"
* FishOutOfWater: When the protagonists bring him back to sunny Pasadena, he's not too thrilled about being in a warm climate.
* AnIcePerson: He produces a strange kind of snow that freezes anything it touches. And he hibernates by encasing himself in a block of ice, like "Dracula in his coffin."
* ManChild: He's very curious and loves sweets. You'd probably wanna hug him if he wasn't a giant brimming with deadly supernatural power.
* NonMaliciousMonster: He's really only dangerous if provoked, and he'll help out if his ice powers have gotten out of control.
* StarterVillain: In the movie, he's the first monster to be released.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He loves trail mix.
