Remorhaz

About 5 feet wide and 20 feet long, the Remorhaz is an extremely large insectile worm with numerous pincers that it uses to tunnel through ice and earth. It can weigh up to 20,000 lbs. Living deep within arctic environments, it is an extremely aggressive predator with a taste for flesh. Its thick hide is a blue-white, which helps it to blend in with its surroundings. However, beneath it pulses an overwhelming heat that runs along its entire body, just below the surface. Jagged spikes protruding from its back glow red hot with this internal fire, which the monster uses to cut and melt prey it finds by trampling over their bodies. In fact, even manufactured weapons can barely withstand the core temperature of the monster’s body, and often break apart when striking it. It is also large enough to swallow creatures whole, where they are subsequently burned alive by the roiling heat within. Simply travelling the snow will melt the stuff around it, causing an obscuring, thick mist to rise up and conceal the horror. Far smarter than an average monster, the Remorhaz is a cunning hunter, and can lie in wait for days in even the coldest of environments, waiting for food to wander by.
