Monster - Snapper

The frost snapper looks like a shaggy, miniature T-rex with no visible eyes and a toothless mouth built like a snapping turtles. Their pelts are generally some shade of blue running the gambit between icy light blue to midnight blue-black.

A typical Frost Snapper measures 7 feet from the tip of its tail to the point of its beak. They weigh approximately 200 pounds and standing 4 feet high at the shoulder.

The Frost Snapper is a pack hunter, patrolling its territory for prey. Once it spots a potential victim, it races toward its target heedless of danger, using the charge to build up momentum and deliver a powerful head-butt with its densely-plated skull. Their bites are so powerful they can break moose leg bones like kindling. Hence where they get their names.

Frost Snappers wander the plains and forests of the Hinterlands looking for potential prey. They are primarily active at night, when the darkness levels the playing field against many of their preferred food items. They seem to love the taste of humanoid meat, targeting riders and drivers over pack animals on a regular basis. This behaviour has led some scholars to wonder if the creatures were not used as pets or guard animals by the extinct and vicious Geld empire that once ruled the Snapper’s frigid homelands.
