Snowcloaks, also known as snow ghosts, were large aberrant creatures that could be found flying across the freezing skies over the Spine of the World.[1]
Description[]
Snowcloaks had two eel-like heads, each at the end of a long sinous neck, that were dotted with several rows of silver-colored eyes.[1][2] Each head had a long, pointed jaw filled with needle-sharp teeth. Their bodies were somewhat flat with blunt wings, not unlike the body of a manta ray. Their bodies terminated in a long, lashing, whip-like tail.[2]
The underside of their bodies were gray, while their topsides were as white as snow. These colorations helped them to blend in with their environment.[1][2]
Behavior[]
Snowcloaks kept no lairs, preferring to continuously soar across the skies searching for meals.[1]
Abilities[]
Snowcloaks were immune to any harsh or freezing cold and possessed regenerative properties.[1] They also possessed a number of spell-like abilities. They could release a dense fog that blinded others, emit magic projectiles, and disorient others with hypnotizing patterns.[1]
Combat[]
Skilled and patient hunters, snowcloaks preferred to drop down and harry their prey. Their claws inflicting a paralyzing toxin.[1]
Ecology[]
Snowcloaks soared the skies alone, or in small groups of three to eight, called drifts.[1]
Languages[]
These creatures were capable of speaking both Auran and Common.[1][2]
Usage[]
The toxin released by the claws on their wings were highly prized by alchemists for use in creating poisons.[1]
