Body planArctic hare/fox quadruped
LocomotionBounding runs, sharp pivots and low ice slides
TemperamentWatchful; warns before attacking but defends dens aggressively

Regions and encounter rules
| Region | Levels | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Snowfield foothills | 8–13 | Common near wind-carved snow banks. |
| Glacier shelves | 13–18 | Small defensive groups near ice formations. |
| Inner ice caves | 18–23 | Uncommon, stronger crystal growth. |
Group: 1–3Rarity: Common in SnowfieldsTime: AnyWeather: Snow and cold wind
Player response: Raises crystal plates, fires warning shards, then controls approach lanes.

Glacial Fan
Activated cone projectile
Fire a controlled spread of Ice shards toward the reticle, dealing Ice damage and applying Chill or Freeze buildup.
Species-wide research branches
- Add shard count
- Tighter precision spread
- Higher buildup against Soaked targets
- Shard fragments on terrain impact
- Frozen targets take extra poise damage

ECOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT
World role
Glacian dens form around stable ice that survives seasonal shifts. Their presence marks safe shelves, but disturbed colonies can lock narrow passes behind sudden crystal growth.
Rare variants
- Blue glacier form
- Snow-white low-visibility trait
- Heavy crystal sentinel form
- Rare aurora-tinted plates
Implementation notes
- Keep shard projectiles readable in snow VFX
- Differentiate Chill buildup from the full Frozen state
- Use a clear pre-fire tell
- Frost Brace should not become permanent interruption immunity
