Blood-Stained Ice: Monsters of the Arctic—Hammer Moose (Part 4)
The world’s arctic region is both a place of great natural beauty and an inherently deadly environment. Freezing waters can turn blood to ice in mere minutes. Avalanches can bury entire parties, hiding their bodies forever under a mountainside’s worth of snow.
As deadly as the arctic is, a wide variety of monsters call it home. Having survived and evolved in one of the world’s harshest environments, these humans and beasts are deadly threats to any adventurers that intrude on their frozen domains.
Seafaring Creature: Carnivorous Ship
Also called a ship mimic, the carnivorous ship sprang out of the turmoil of an ancient arcane war. Its creators designed it to be used against a naval foe, and now it runs amok and plagues the seas worldwide.
The carnivorous ship prowls the world’s oceans, consuming the wood, metal, rope, and other materials commonly used in vessel construction. The aberration eats inanimate items and uses any material processed from consumed living creatures to form its mindless drones. Young specimens (CR 3) lurk in harbors posing as rowboats, while older examples take on the appearance of larger vessels.

Magic Items
Narwhale Wand
The Narwhale wand is a rare artifact among the frost giants and it is usually found only in the hands of a mighty clan chief, shaman, or herald of the flame. The twisting horn shaft of the wand is as long as 6 ft., making this a full staff in the hands of a human-sized creature. The wand always glints and sparkles as if constantly covered in a thin layer of frost. It is also quite cold to the touch, but only enough to be uncomfortable to those not immune to cold.

Blizzard Wolf
All who call the arctic their home fear and respect blizzard wolves. Cunning and vicious pack predators that stand nearly as tall as a man at the shoulders, these gray-and-white-furred canines are graceful killers that stalk the length and breadth of the arctic in an endless hunt for prey.
