Ability Score Increase: Your Strength score increases by 2, and your Constitution score increases by 1. Size: Yeti Folk stand between 7 and 8 feet tall and weigh between 300 and 400 pounds. Your size is Medium. Speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet. Darkvision: Accustomed to navigating through the snowy wilderness, you have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. Cold Resistance: You have resistance to cold damage. Snowball Mastery: You have proficiency with the Athletics skill. Additionally, you can use your Strength modifier instead of Dexterity for any Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks related to balance on icy or slippery surfaces. Chill Embrace: As an action, you can attempt to grapple a creature. On a successful grapple, the creature takes 1d4 cold damage at the start of its turn. The damage increases to 2d4 at 6th level, 3d4 at 11th level, and 4d4 at 16th level. The creature can use its action to make a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check against your grapple DC to escape. Snowy Camouflage: You have proficiency in the Stealth skill when in snowy environments, allowing you to blend seamlessly with the surroundings. Consume Essence: You have a unique ability to consume the essence of fallen creatures. As an action, you can consume the remains of a Small or Medium creature that you or your allies have slain in the last minute. Upon doing so, you regain hit points equal to your character level + your Constitution modifier. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you complete a short or long rest. Rolling Snowball: You have an affinity for rolling snowballs, gaining a special trait related to the "Biggest Snowball Ever!" ability. When you take the Dash action during your turn, you can choose to roll into a snowball. While in this form, your movement speed increases by an additional 10 feet, and you can move through the space of creatures that are at least one size smaller than you without provoking opportunity attacks. This effect lasts until the start of your next turn. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Yeti Folk are known for their close connection to the snowy wilderness. They live in small, tight-knit communities in regions where snow and ice dominate the landscape. Their society values cooperation, and they have a deep respect for nature. Survival is a crucial aspect of their culture, and their resourcefulness in the harsh environments they inhabit has earned them a reputation for resilience.

The cold resistance inherent in Yeti Folk reflects their adaptation to frigid climates, allowing them to endure freezing temperatures with ease. The "Snowball Mastery" ability showcases their proficiency in navigating icy surfaces and their physical prowess. The "Chill Embrace" ability represents their ability to harness the cold, using it to their advantage in combat.
Behavior:
Yeti Folk tend to be neutral in alignment, driven by instinct and survival rather than strict moral codes.

Interaction with Other Races:
Yeti Folk are generally cautious when interacting with other races, as their remote habitats have kept them isolated for much of their existence. However, they can form alliances with those who show respect for nature and an understanding of the harsh environments they come from. Yeti Folk appreciate individuals who value cooperation and share a similar sense of survival in the face of adversity.
