The winter wolf is a large, intelligent, and bad-tempered predator which is found only in the cold wastes. Its coat is typically silver or ivory in colour, and its eyes are ice blue.

Winter wolves speak their own language, and are also able to talk to worgs.

Their coats are worth 5,000 gold pieces at market.

Special Abilities

Frost Breath — Once every 10 rounds the wolf can breathe cold on any creature within 10-ft of its mouth. This icy breath causes 6d4 points of damage to the victim (or half if he makes a save vs. breath weapon).

Cold Immunity — The wolf is immune to cold attacks, but vulnerable to fire attacks for which it receives an extra point of damage on each die rolled.

Languages — Winter wolves speak their own language, and are also able to talk to worgs.
