Frost worm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Frost Worm is a fictional magical beast that lives in cold and ice filled places in the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons.
Its appearance resembles somewhat a worm. Unlike worms, frost worm's head is made of strong plates with large number of black spider-like eyes, and a pair of strong maw. Frost Worms are generally coloured from white to light-blue, making them fit the icy landscape perfectly. Their body can generate intense cold freezing those who come to close to him.
Frost worms prefer to bury themselves in the snow, waiting for prey to come near and then jump out and bite. Their thick skin also serves as protection against enemies. A frost worm can emit terrible noise that paralyzes his prey. The only thing that isn't affected by its terrible howl is other frost worms. Also if a frost worm is killed his body will to turn into ice and burst damaging anything around it.
[edit] Other uses
In different contexts such as other fantasy or role playing games, the slightly different spelling Frost Wurm is used.
The behavior of frost worms is somewhat similar to behaviour of sandworms though frost worms are significantly smaller and live in a colder climates.
