Chapter 3 The Ice Worm

Monster: Devourer, to consume people

The Juvenile Ice worm looks like a giant earthworm with a dark purple colouration. However, it has some traits that belies this appearance.

It is massive at 10 metres long with a circumference of 0.5 metres. It is covered in thousands of thick needle like hairs of diamond. Below these are dark purple scales. Finally, it has a circular maw filled with rows of rectangular grinding teeth made of diamond.

3.4 Weakness

  • Aurora attraction It is attracted to places with the Aurora Borealis lights. Otherwise it normally stays away from humans as it hunts bigger game like moose.

  • Cryophobic

    • Surprisingly it will die if it is too cold. Its diamond like hairs keep it insulated so destroying them will help.

Ideas of what might work include:

  • Big magic to freeze it.
  • Getting it into a river of glacial water.
  • An ice thrower.

Encourage the imagination of your hunters on how to carry this out.
