Abominable types may finally recall locale (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yetis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'abominable types' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'may finally recall locale' is the wordplay.
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
'recall' is a reversal indicator.
'locale' becomes 'site' (I've seen this in another clue).
The last letter of 'may' is 'y'.
'site' written backwards gives 'etis'.
'y'+'etis'='YETIS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yetis that I've seen before include "Beasts that aren't real" , "fantastic beasts" , "Abominable snowmen" , "Rarely seen group of creatures" , "Mountain monsters" .)
