 A Yeti has an innate racial perk called [[Frigid Composition]], which helps him or her resist cold and endure frigid climates, but renders them weak to heat.  In addition to this, a Yeti character can have up to three additional [[racial perk]]s of choice.  In addition to the general perks available to every race, a Yeti can also choose from:
-* [[Child of Snowhead]]: a trait which makes acquiring {{Field|Ice}} treasures easier
+* [[Actor's Illusion]]: a useful spell often mastered by the otherwise magically inept Yook, enabling them to guise their appearance
-* [[Ice Breath]]: a technique which can be used to exhale freezing air; Yeti born with this technique are often called "Yook"
+* [[Child of Frost]]: a trait which makes acquiring {{Field|Ice}} treasures easier
-* [[Power Lift]]: a technique which, when used, triples the weight the Yeti can lift, carry over their head, push, or pull
+* [[Ice Breath]]: a technique used to exhale freezing air
 * [[Rage]]: a powerful technique which lets a Yeti briefly increase his strength and speed, but leaves him fatigued
-* [[Yeti Punch]]: a technique which doubles the power of a Yeti's punches, and surrounds them with an icy aura
+* [[Wind Breath]]: a techniqueused to exhale powerful gusts capable of blowing foes away

 For countless generations, you and your people have made your home in the familiar frozen hills you have always known.  You hunted for White Wolfos, and gathered Chill Seeds for food.  Water was all around you; all you needed to do was melt it.  It was simpler, then.  Over a decade ago, some evil monster known as Ganon began tormenting the mysterious land to the south.  Before long, scrawny hairless Yeti--which you later realized to be [[Hylian]]s--made their way into your land.  It was then that your entire race began to realize what lied beyond the hills, entire contininents of magic, of mysterious creatures, and of untold adventures.  Many forgot the simple life of their ancestors to seek out this new, uncomfortably warm world--whether it be for greed, loneliness, boredom, or mere curiosity.  Perhaps you were among them.  It was only when you left, and began learning the Hyrulean language, that you realized your home had a name: Snowhead.
-A Snowhead Yeti begins with a PWC of 2/1/1.  Its racial perks include [[Frigid Composition]], [[Child of Snowhead]], [[Power Lift]], and [[Yeti Punch]].

 While not vital information, the following includes further detail on the race's origins, development, and society.
-The origins of Yeti are largely unknown, as traditionally members of this race did not record their history.  It is widely believed that at one point in the distant past, both Yeti and Yooks lived together as one race.  Since then, Yeti migrated to [[Snowhead]], the northwestern region of [[Northern Hyrule]].  Meanwhile, Yooks ended up in the [[Subrosian Glacie]]r, an area northeast of Hyrule that is separated from the mainland by the Great Sea.  When referred to together, both sects are usually referred to as Yeti.

 For countless generations, both sects remained completely distinct from one another.  They lived primitively compared to [[Hylian]]s.  Both Yooks and Yetis lived in caves, had a simple "language" devoid of writing, and survived by hunting and gathering.  Generally, they were isolated in small, separate tribes and families.  Yooks wore clothing for protection, while Yeti relied entirely on their natural fur.  The mainland Hyruleans believed Yeti to be pure myths, nothing but fairy-tales of giant, man-eating beasts in humanoid shape.

-Shortly after Ganon began his siege on Southern Hyrule, the resulting chaos causes the Hyruleans to flee from settlements they had clung to for generations.  The influx of refugees caused unprecedented exploration outside what had long since served as the borders of Hyrule, including pioneering [[Hylian]]s venturing through Snowhead, and [[Rito]] sailing the seas far to the east.  Eventually, the tales of Yeti sightings became so common that mystery gave way to science.  When a young explorer finally brought her giant Yeti friend down from the mountains into Castle Town, there was no longer any denying their existence.  Thankfully, the tales of "man-eating beasts" turned out to be entirely false, as it seemed the Yeti were even more peaceful than the Hylians themselves, not even initially understanding the concept of war.  The fact that snow wasn't omnipresent to the south initially bewildered them.  Eventually, it became known that the Yook variety existed far to the east.

-In the years since then, there has been limited communication between Yeti tribes and the rest of Hyrule.  While it has been widely accepted that Yeti exist, they are still surrounded in mystery, and are rarely sighted south of Castle Town.  As for the Yeti themselves, they have begun to incorporate some of Hyrule into their lives--enjoying luxuries like furniture in their caves, and incorporating many Hyrulean words into their language.  The rare, young, adventurous Yeti and Yooks have begun to explore this vast new world for themselves.  Similarly, the occasional Hyruleans take it upon themselves to see their northern neighbors for themselves.

 Somewhat ironically, Yeti hate the warmth of Hyrule as much as Hyruleans hate the cold of Snowhead and the Subrosian Glacier.  Perhaps because of this, there has been no known conflict over land, and relations between Yeti and the rest of Hyrule has remained on good terms.

 Like most races, Yeti have two genders, and reproduce in the normal way expected of mammals.  The females tend to be smaller and lighter than their male counterparts.  Normally, only one child is born at a time, and a mother on average has about three children in her lifetime.  Yeti age at roughly twice the rate of [[Hylian]]s, reaching adulthood after about 10 years, and reaching ages as old as 50.  This aging rate is comparable to [[Moblin]]s, [[Lynel]]s, and similar bestial races.
-A typical adult Yeti stands between 7 and 8 feet tall (or 210cm to 240cm), and weighs about 300 lbs (or 135kg).  In extreme cases, they can be as small as 5 feet tall (150cm), weighing about 150 lbs (70kg); and as large as 10 feet tall (300cm), weighing about 500 lbs (225kg).  A Yeti's skin is comparably tough, and usually a blue-gray huge, but occasionally a hazelnut brown.  Despite this, almost all of their flesh is burried in thick layers of white or off-white fur, leaving only their face, hands, and feet exposed.  The fur aids in keeping them warm, and their hands and feet are particularly durable against cold compared to the rest of their skin.  Some Yeti have large, beaver-like tails which hang behind them, but the majority seem to lack such tails.  The purpose of these tails is unknown.

-Generally, a Yeti is particularly strong and durable, but the extra weight and size of their bodies keeps them slower than smaller races.  While often thought to be less intelligent than Hylians, they routinely have shown the capability to learn languages foreign to them, and have memory, creativity, and processing speed within the realm of average [[Hylian]]s.
