[QUOTE="ml3, post: 2795952, member: 12990"] Abomniable Snow Monster Huge Monstrous Humanoid The abominable snow monsters (often refered to by locals as 'bumbles') are fearsome solitary predators that haunt vast regions of the frozen north. Bumbles stand approximately 22 feet tall and weigh as much as two elephants. They are covered in thick white fur, with older specimens displaying grayish patched on the abdomen. Their skin is thick and leathery and shaded icy blue. Their eyes are large and stark white with small black irises, giving them an almost comical appearance. Thick white fangs line their oversized mouths. The low breeding population (only one bumble may be found for hundreds of miles) has necessitated inbreeding in the species, which in turn has resulted in quadro-dactylism in most specimens. Abominable snow monsters, it is rumored, have one weakness. Despite their girth, they have very low body fat and sink instantly if immersed in water. If being chased by a bumble, it is often wise to lead it out on to an ice shelf where its massive weight will cause it to fall through. Bumbles are voracious creatures. Their massive nutritional needs, coupled with the barrenness of their territory, drive them to chase and eat just about anything they can. While bumbles are not at all selective, it should be noted that they would give up any food source, even ones in hand, in exchange for pig meat. How and where these arctic creatures acquired a taste for pork is unknown, but first edition orcs in particular should be wary. The thick rubbery skin of the abominables, while not in the least buoyant, does give the creature an amazing resistance to impacts that would kill another creature. In short, bumbles bounce. Lastly, it should be noted that these creatures are bullies. If they ever should be put in a situation where they do not have the upper hand, they can be easily intimidated, and you’ll be looking at one mighty humble bumble. [/QUOTE]
