Hoar foxes were a rare animal found in cold climates.[2]
Description[]
Hoar foxes looked like regular foxes but instead of red fur, their fur was silver-grey in color.[2]
Behavior[]
Hoar foxes were calm animals, only aggressive if it or their pack was in danger.[2]
Abilities[]
Hoar foxes had the innate ability to duplicate the effects of the cone of cold spell at will. This was their primary form of defense and could hit a target up to 30 ft (9.1 m) away. Hoar foxes were immune to cold-based effects and spells, and were particularly vulnerable to fire-based effects and spells.[2]
Ecology[]
Hoar foxes were found in cold climates living in small packs.[2]
Habitats[]
In Faerûn, hoar foxes were known to live in Icewind Dale,[3], the Ice Mountains, and the Spine of the World.[4] Beyond Faerûn, hoar foxes could be found in the cold climate regions of Kara-Tur.[5]
Relationships[]
Rangers in cold locations sometimes had a hoar fox as a companion animal.[6]
Usages[]
Hoar foxes were hunted for their pelts, which were in high demand due to its color. An intact hoar fox pelt could be sold for up to 100 gp.[2] The blood of a hoar fox was used to enchant a white dragon's tooth.[7]
