This is not quite the question the OP asked but I always thought you could assign the big 4 to one each of the first Doctors:
1st - Daleks
2nd - Cybermen (I know they debuted in Hartnells last story, but I feel like they belong more to Troughton's era)
3rd - The Master
4th - Davros
In terms of what the OP actually asked, I would say the Great Intelligence rather than the Yeti (actually I think the Yeti are a little cuddly and ridiculous) for the Troughton era.
For the 6th Doctor, surely Sil is the defining 'monster' original to his era?
