Yeti

Basic description:

A completely separate species. Descended from humans who have adapted to cold weather, bigger and cold resistance, developing more muscle, more fat reserves, and a coat of fur with a range of colors. Most likely from the Northern Wastes. Require more xp to level and will invariably suffer from Non-Tundra Anxiety, a mental illness linked to the environment, it saps their willpower.

Physiology:

From a distance, Yetis look like furry humans... and that is what they may have came from. Both males and females have thick fur which can come in a wide variety of colors; brown to black, as well as gray and white, sometimes even red has been recorded. It is also not uncommon for the yeti to have patterns of fur color; stripes, spots, two colors of fur, and more. Yeti fur is hard to remove, but some yetis did it, a yeti with at least the face shaven shows they look remarkably human-like, but the nose is large and bulbous shaped, the ears and lips are also larger. Eyes are bigger as well but in proportion to how a human that size would look. The teeth are also larger. The yeti body is bigger than a human in many ways; more muscle, more fat reserves, thicker bones, taller, and more.

History:

Yetis entered Merika from the Northern Wastes after most of the Changes ended, most escaping Rossyan aggression, who used them as slave labor or allegedly even food when it came to Yetis who could no longer produce goods and services for Rossyan invaders into Yndonesia. Moving from a white landscape to vibrant colors and non-cold affected nearly all Yetis and they developed Non-Tundra Anxiety, a serious psychological and medical condition, causing their numbers to dwindle to the point where they are, for all intents and purposes, extinct in Merika. It is unknown if there are Yetis still in the Northern Wastes thanks to Rossya.

Culture:

Yetis integrated well into the Plains Region in the brief period they were entering there and established trading posts with the Bikers of the Sturgis Underground City as well as some of them joining in the tribal Rushmore Holy Grounds with some of their artwork and totem poles dotting the area. Other than that, there is little evidence that Yetis were in Merika.
