R E M O R H A Z E S
From beneath the snow and ice bursts a remorhaz in
a cloud of steam, its body pulsing with internal fire.
Winglike fins flare from the back of the creature's head,
and its wide mouth brims with jagged teeth.
Arctic Predators. Remorhazes live in arctic climes,
preying on elk, polar bears, and other creatures sharing
their territory. They can't tolerate warm weather, having
adapted to the cold by generating a furnace-like heat
within their bodies. When hunting, a remorhaz burrows
deep below the snow and ice and lies in wait for the faint
vibrations created by a creature moving above it. While
hidden under the ice and snow, it can lower its body
temperature so that it doesn't melt its cover.
Y o ung Ones. Frost giant hunters scour the icy wastes
for remorhaz nests and eggs. The giants prize young
remorhazes, which can be trained from hatching to obey
commands and guard the giants' icy citadels. Unlike
fully grown specimens, young remorhazes gnaw on
their victims instead of swallowing them whole.
