White Surrak
The White Surrak is a broad-bodied permafrost crawler, thickset and slate-blue, its knobbled hide trapping what little warmth the frozen flats allow. It moves across the permafrost with trudging inevitability, peaceful in its vast slow passage but explosive in its response to being cornered. When a White Surrak strikes, bones shatter and breath is stolen in the freezing dark.
Key traits
- Knobbled hide is specifically structured to trap and retain what little warmth the permafrost flats provide, giving the creature passive thermal insulation.
- An herbivore or broad omnivore by inference, it forages across frozen flats on a circuit of patient, unhurried movement.
- Peaceful by nature and slow to anger, a cornered White Surrak strikes like a hammer dropped from height, leaving bones shattered.
- No domestication has been documented; it is a grazing giant of the extreme frozen lowlands.
