White Lady? I forget what she was called, but reworking a vampire with innate "Invisibility" [creating white out conditions] and Ice Storm casting.-Arctic Selkies for the cold waters.-In B/X, BECM "Salamanders" came in Fire and Frost (I think 6-armed/legged lizards instead of the 2-armed serpent-fre-type] varieties. Take the MM [traditional AD&D fire] Salamander and make it a cold-based creature.-Medusa variant that freezes/encases you in ice, or simply turns you into ice, instead of stone.-Use the Water Elemental, pretty much as is, as a ice/snow/blizzard elemental. Don't need to change attacks or anything.</blockquote>
