Hominids

Hominids in monster high seems to be an umbrella term for yeti's and big foot type monsters or another term for them would be sasquatch. The word hominids means a primate of a family ( Hominidae ) that includes humans and their fossil ancestors and also (in recent systems) at least some of the great apes. The word hominids ties in more with apes, and big foot is said to be a humanoid ape like monster. Yeti's are also consisted ape like, just with white fur and are said to live in colder areas in myths.

Monster High
In monster high the first Hominid to be introduced proper was Abbey Bominable. Like yeti's in myth Abbey used to live in a colder area, and even has ice powers that only yeti's have, while her cousin Marisol Coxi a sasquatch has no ice powers. Abbey's and Marisol's family relation confirms that yeti's and sasquatch's can be related. And as shown where Marisol lives sasquatch's live in warmer areas.

Description
In monster high sasquatch's have large feet and have grey and brown fur on their legs and arms. They also have small clawed hands and feet, and somewhat big and pointy ears.

Yeti's on the other hand have been shown to have blue skin, two small tusks protuding from their mouths. They also have clawed hands, and it's possible both yeti's and sasquatch's tend to be very tall.

Abilities

 * Cryokinesis: Yeti's can create and manipulate ice and frost. they can manifests this in several ways:
 * Ice Sneeze: When Abbey got sick, (which she usually doesn't) she will sneeze, affecting the environment around her usually leading to ice being created somewhere.
 * Ice Building: Usually, when yeti's want to project or form ice, they will most likely throw there arms forward and generate ice from there bare hands. They can build anything, from ice bridges to holographic looking ice walls.
 * Ice Touch: By simply touching stuff, yeti's can freeze objects if they wanted to.
 * Body Thermal-Regulation: Yeti's can decrease their body temperature to extremely low temperatures, and will freeze whatever touches them. Their tears will also freeze when they cry, as well as their drinks.
 * Increased Strength: Yeti's and sasquatch's have been shown to have incredible strength and resistance which, assumed, comes naturally. Able to lift even the toughest of students, Abbey shows grate ease when lifting things. This comes in handy and in use when playing sports.
