Frostfang Hound

The Frostfang Hound, a rare and fearsome creature that originates from the icy depths of Niflheim, the same realm as the Gjallarbeast . These enigmatic beasts possess a powerful elemental affinity and are shrouded in mystery and legend.
Description: The Frostfang Hound is a massive, canine-like creature with a short snout and a muscular, powerful build. It has large, gray scales that cover most of its body, providing it with formidable natural armor. Between these sparse scales grow patches of pure white fur, giving the beast a deceptively soft appearance. A row of sharp, jagged spikes runs along the Frostfang Hound's shoulders and the back of its head, adding to its menacing presence. The creature's glowing eyes vary in color, reflecting its unique elemental affinity, which can range from icy blue to fiery red, or even vibrant green or electric yellow.
Elemental Affinity: Each Frostfang Hound possesses an innate connection to one of the various elements found within the realm of magic. This elemental affinity grants the beast formidable magical abilities related to that specific element. For example, a Frostfang Hound with a fire affinity may have the ability to breathe searing flames or ignite the ground beneath it, while a Frostfang Hound with a water affinity could manipulate the flow of water or summon powerful waves to crash upon its enemies.
Behavior: Frostfang Hounds are elusive creatures that rarely venture into the realm of magic. When they do appear, they are drawn to areas of strong elemental energy that align with their affinity, often causing chaos and destruction in their wake. These creatures are highly territorial and aggressive, seeing any intrusion into their chosen domain as a challenge to their dominance. It is not uncommon to see these beasts in packs of 2 or 3, with a dominant female leading the hunt.
Weaknesses: The elemental nature of the Frostfang Hounds provides them with great power, but it also makes them vulnerable to opposing elements. For example, a Frostfang Hound with a fire affinity would be more susceptible to water or ice-based attacks, while a Frostfang Hound with an earth affinity would be more vulnerable to air or lightning-based assaults. Additionally, their elemental affinity may make them more susceptible to specific herbs or magical items that can counteract or nullify their abilities.
