Remorhazes
From beneath the snow and ice bursts a remorhaz in a cloud of steam, its body pulsing with internal fire. Winglike fins flare from the back of the creature's head, and its wide mouth brims with jagged teeth.
Arctic Predators Remorhazes live in arctic climes, preying on elk, polar bears, and other creatures sharing their territory. They can't tolerate warm weather, having adapted to the cold by generating a furnace-like heat within their bodies. When hunting, a remorhaz burrows deep below the snow and ice and lies in wait for the faint vibrations created by a creature moving above it. While hidden under the ice and snow, it can lower its body temperature so that it doesn't melt its cover.
Young Ones Frost giant hunters scour the icy wastes for remorhaz nests and eggs. The giants prize young remorhazes, which can be trained from hatching to obeycommands and guard the giants' icy citadels. Unlike fully grown specimens, young remorhazes gnaw on their victims instead of swallowing them whole.

| Action 2 | Swallow | The remorhaz makes one bite attack against | a Medium or smaller creature it is grappling. |

| and restrained, it has total cover against attacks | and other effects outside the remorhaz, | and it takes 6d6 acid damage | at the start of each of the remorhaz's turns. |

| or regurgitate all swallowed creatures, | which fall prone in a space within 10 feet of the remorhaz. | If the remorhaz dies, | a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it |
| and can escape from the corpse using | 15 feet of movement, exiting prone |
