Frostoodle

Welcome to Eldergrove, Researcher. You were sent by the Academy to research and document the magical creatures in and around Eldergrove: #078 - FROSTOODLE Type: Ice / Water Habitat: Frozen Streams & Icy Thickets Size: 1.5–2.2 feet Rarity: Uncommon APPEARANCE: The Frostoodle is perfectly adapted for the colder regions of the grove. Its fur is dense and waterproof, allowing it to dive into freezing water and emerge dry. Its tail is made of "Living Ice"—crystals that never melt but grow and reshape themselves based on the creature's mood. BEHAVIOR: They are famously "amblers," moving with a slow, waddling gait that belies their agility in the water. They are social creatures, often found sliding down snowy hills on their bellies just for the fun of it. ABILITY: Gentle Whispers. As the Frostoodle moves, the crystal shards on its tail rub against one another, creating a soft, melodic tinkling sound that resembles quiet whispers. These whispers have a calming effect on nearby Isimon. HABITAT & DIET: They live in the hollows of trees near the water's edge. They primarily feed on "Frost-Shrimp" and the roots of "Ice-Lilies" that grow beneath the frozen surface of the ponds. LORE: Eldertown legends say that if you follow the whispering trail of a Frostoodle, you will find a hidden spring that never freezes. They are seen as the "Keepers of Winter’s Secret." TEMPERAMENT: Playful, Gentle, and Highly Social. ACTIVITY: Diurnal (Active during the day, especially in the bright winter sun).
