Ice Shriekers have been observed to have the physical appearance of nearly every humanoid race on Thadar En, albeit with a noticeable blue tint to their skin and pure white hair. Their fingers end in sharp ice claws and have mouths filled with incredibly sharp, frozen teeth.
Genetics and Reproduction
Reports from the few that encounter and survive multiple encounters in the same area, it appears that shriekers can either take the form of their victims or create new spawn from the bodies. Claims made by parties attempting to recover the bodies that a shrieker with the appearance matching that of the victim attacked them during the attempt are common among those that are brave enough to venture back.
Ecology and Habitats
Ice Shriekers are native to the Plane of Ice, although like nearly all planar creatures they can be found on the Material Plane as well. While their actual origin is unknown, they are believed to be related to Ice Elementals, due to their ability to manipulate their frozen homes. While they seem to prefer their natural weapons, they can create other weaponry out of ice, often appearing to pull them out of the ice beneath them.
