Even so, I see mystery snowman (4)

I believe the answer is:

yeti

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'mystery snowman' is the definition.
'yeti' can be an answer for 'snowman' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'mystery' bit.

'even so i' is the wordplay.
'even so' becomes 'yet' (I've seen this in another clue).
'yet'+'i'='YETI'

'see' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yeti that I've seen before include "Legendary Himalayan dweller" , "creature awaiting discovery?" , "It's fantastic being" , "An abominable animal!" , "Tibetan wild man" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
