Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter. I found this interesting site. Here's the relevant blurb:Griffith Dragonlake said:Remorhaz
It is unclear if Remora is another Ice Worm, older and deceased, or if it is the same Ice Worm, they seemed slightly different.
On the cover, the Ice Worm is painted as breathing fire. In the issue nothing let think that the Worm could do this, I suppose it is an error, and that the Worm emitted only extreme cold, not warm or fire. In the original novel by Carter and De Camp, the Ice Worm is described: "Its boneless form was covered with the silken nap of thick white fur. Its mouth was merely a jawless, circular opening, now puckered and closed. Above the mouth, the two luminous orbs gleamed out of a smooth, rounded, featureless eel-like head.".
Greek mythology, but in a very different form. The Greek ones were a lot bigger.Griffith Dragonlake said:Stirge
