They can take many forms — most are made from dogs or wolves — but rumors abound of zombified musk oxen and even mammoths. No matter what the animal was, the process of ice zombification creates the same result.Hunting Ice Zombie, Some Sort of Prehistoric Beast, Giant Bird With Claw-Tipped Legs and a Sharp Beak All Covered With a Rime of Ice: ?Ice Zombie Hunting Dog: ?Ice Zombie Hunting Wolf: ?Ice Zombie Hunting, Zombified Musk Ox: ?Ice Zombie Hunting, Zombified Mammoth: ?Ice Zombie Hunting, Horrid Creature, Freeze-Dried Undead: ?Ice Zombie Hunting, Guard: ?Ice Zombie Hunting, Hunting Beast: ?Ice Zombie Hunting, Symbol of a Cult Leader's Power: ?Ice Zombie Temple Guard: Those temple guards who please Althunak the most are granted eternal undeath as ice zombies. Their bodies are freeze-dried by the process, and they stand an unceasing vigil over the sacred sites of the Lord of Ice and Cold, as well as protect his most fervent priests.During the fall of the prince, three thralls and five of the temple’s guards locked themselves in this room, intent that the rebellious slaves, treacherous prince, and especially the hated palace eunuchs would not get their god’s sacred treasures. In time, all eight died but were reanimated by their unholy faith as ice zombies.During the chaos of the fall of the prince, these two loyalists were lured in here and quickly entombed by the locking of the sturdy storehouse doors. They died after consuming the last of the supplies but have been blessed by their demon lord with undeath.Ice Zombie Temple Guard, Freeze-Dried Undead: ?Ice Zombie Temple Guard, Frigid Corpse of a Former Royal Guard: ?Ice Zombie Thrall: While temple guards are chosen for their valor and faith, ice zombie thralls are merely rounded up and subjected to horrid rituals to turn them into ice zombies. The process is a different one than that used on other ice zombies, as is the purpose.During the fall of the prince, three thralls and five of the temple’s guards locked themselves in this room, intent that the rebellious slaves, treacherous prince, and especially the hated palace eunuchs would not get their god’s sacred treasures. In time, all eight died but were reanimated by their unholy faith as ice zombies.During the overthrowal of the prince, these 12 loyalists were lured here and quickly entombed by locking the sturdy storehouse doors (break DC 15, AC 14, 12 hp, can be picked using thieves’ tools with a successful DC 13 Dexterity check). They died after consuming the last of the supplies but were blessed by their demon lord with undeath.Inside each cage are 10 ice zombie thralls, their corpses freeze-dried by the unnatural cold of their jail cells. When the palace was abandoned, these prisoners were left here. In a few days, they were themselves forced into cannibalism to eke out one more day. This pleased Althunak, and he “blessed” them with undeath and eternal hunger.Ice Zombie Thrall, Mindless Killer, Freeze-Dried Undead: ?Uth’ilopiq the Cursed, Prince, Corpse, Former Lord of the Ice Palace, Lord of the Palace: The corpse is not entirely dead, for in his death Uth’ilopiq cursed his demon-god and was in turn cursed to sit on the throne he once held for his divine liege until called upon. Reanimated after death, the lord of the palace has remained here for eons, waiting and plotting.Zombie: Uth’ilopiq does not move or show any signs of his undead state until the party touches his corpse (see below) or leaves the throne room, at which point he quietly stalks them, looking for a time when their guard is down so that he may strike. Anyone who separates from the group is ambushed and slain, and their body is then reanimated into a zombie to serve the lord of the palace.</blockquote>
