Whitescale Therlak
The Whitescale Therlak is a broad-bodied coldland crawler bearing a pale, ghost-marked hide that renders it half-seen in the blowing drifts of the icy ridges it inhabits. Kin to the White Surrak Natural History White Surrak The White Surrak is a broad-bodied permafrost crawler, thickset and slate-blue, its knobbled hide trapping what little warmth the frozen flats allow. in bulk, it glides along frozen terrain with a crushing, unstoppable momentum, moving on through whatever lies in its path. Some say the Whitescales know old roads laid down beneath the ice when the world was young and cruel.
Key traits
- Its pale hide provides effective camouflage in blowing snow and ice-scoured ridges, making it nearly invisible in the high-altitude frozen terrain it calls home.
- Massive in build, it crushes obstacles in its path and moves on with the indifferent inevitability of glacial ice.
- A herbivore or broad omnivore by inference, it is thought to forage along icy ridges in patterns that suggest knowledge of ancient buried routes.
- No domestication has been documented; it is a fixture of the most extreme coldland environments.
