A Frost Worm grows about 40 feet long, has two huge mandibles, and a strange orifice on its head that it uses to create a trilling sound during combat. It can burrow through ice and frozen earth but not stone. When moving through such hard materials, it leaves behind a usable tunnel about 5 feet in diameter.
A frost worm lurks under the snow, waiting for prey to come near. It begins an attack with the trill, which forces its prey to stand motionless, and then sets upon helpless prey with its bite.
