Mountain Primate Pokemon

158 - SWIMIAN (Swimming+Simian)
- Water
- Ability: TORRENT
- Water Monkey Pokemon
- "This little Pokemon is unusual among primates in that it has learned how to swim, usually in rivers and hot springs in the mountains. It is welcomed around the Gaenn mountain temples, and visitors frequently feed them because they are considered sacred to the monkey god."

159 - HOMONTAN (Homonid+Mountain)
- Water/Ice
- Ability: TORRENT
- Evolves from SWIMIAN at Level 20
- Pokemon
- "Due to its exposure to the freezing cold, HOMONTAN's fur is encrusted with ice, turning it into armor against cold and enemies. When threatened, it bristles its fur, allowing the ice crystals around it to form into spikes to defend itself. Despite its fierce reputation, It is actually quite shy."

160 - AVALABOMAN (Avalanche+Abominable Snowman)
- Water/Ice
- Ability: TORRENT
- Evolves from HOMONTAN at Level 40
- Snow Beast Pokemon
- "A mighty and powerful beast, this towering Pokemon is the giant of the mountains. Its thick, shaggy fur is made of numerous ice crystals, which it can manipulate if attacked to form glacier armor, icicle spikes, and crystalline chain mail, depending on the situation. Despite its fearsome appearance, it is actually bashful and amicable, and prefers to socialize rather than fight."

This is my entry to 's contest
These guys are part of the Mountain region, so I figured I'd make them like that. They're based off the Hanuman Langur, the Sasquatch/Bigfoot, and the Yeti/Abominable Snowman, with some elements of Japanese Snow Macaques. I know Abomasnow already has the whole yeti thing covered, but we need a REAL yeti around here
Avalaboman's pose was taken from the famous Bigfoot picture, an example seen here: [link]
Hope you like it ^^
