Snowcloaks are cunning, patient hunters, often drifting along after dark to pounce on nocturnal creatures as they emerge from lairs and burrows. Snowcloaks attack by landing atop prey and biting or clubbing with the fearsome bone knobs on their tails, while tearing with their poisonous claws. Snowcloaks often avoid dangerous prey.
If they believe a foe can be overcome, snowcloaks favor an extended hit-and-run battle, slashing quickly among their enemies with flyby attacks and then moving off and using their regeneration to recover, while their intended prey grows weaker and runs out of magic, missile weapons, and the will to resist.
Cold Subtype
A creature with the cold subtype has immunity to cold. It has vulnerability to fire, which means it takes half again as much (+50%) damage as normal from fire, regardless of whether a saving throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or failure.
