The Harpers' Read

A thing of living ice, called up by Arauthator to grind a line down. Its danger is twofold: a killing aura of cold so that merely standing near it bleeds your people, and a knack for burrowing through the ice to erupt in your midst. It feels no pain, no fear, no poison, and cannot be worn down. Spend nothing on cold against it; if it has a frailty it is fire, though the company never proved it. Fall back out of its aura and break it at range.

Encounters of Record

Summoned by Old White Death during the battle of Oyaviggaton (49), it harried the company turn upon turn — surfacing among them, slamming with icy fists, and loosing icicles.
