Yeti:
The feral Yeti are perhaps the most bestial of the races called goblinish. They somewhat resemble a slightly diminutive ogre with snowy white fur covering their entire body except for the face, hands, and feet, where the pale, slightly greenish-tinged skin is visible. They are said to be the distant descendents of an ancient tribe of ogres who wandered into arctic climes and gradually adapted to the environment. As such, they are quite resistant to cold, though a bit vulnerable to fire and heat. One might note that this theory is supported by the fact that yeti speak recognizable Angrak and demonstrate affinity for other goblinish races.
Yeti are nearly as strong and tough as ogres, as well as a bit faster and more intelligent. They also have fairly impressive claws, and functional nightvision. Their lifespans are not impressive, though better than those of ogres; a yeti who does not die in combat might reasonably expect to live for seventy years. A final yeti characteristic worth mentioning is that their coloration and experience makes them well-suited for stealth in arctic terrain.
