Alark
Alarks are Ice golems located in anywhere cold enough to snow year-round, or tundras (occasionally taigas too). These creatures are dangerous yet amazing to see in real life, as many refuse their existence, or just haven't experienced the sight of one of these beautiful beasts.
Despite their beauty, Alarks are quite dangerous and savage beasts. Using their long, heavy arms, they crush men like bugs, and their breath is powerful and long. Using their breath, which is supercooled, they crisply freeze those too close with ease. However, enough clothes can counteract this, or just enchantments, or even just general warmth. The arms are most of the danger.
After killing Alarks, Their eyes can be harvested. Known as Deep Blue Ice, their eyes do not melt and are continuously cold, permanently. Used for cooling off, for potionbrewing, enchanting, and more, it is a very valuable commodity. Many men have survived the desert with one of these small, spherical balls of ice.
Alarks are magical beings, too. It's unknown if they are natural or they were made by sentients. It's very possible that Goblins made them to deal with the Diamonds, but it failed tremendously, obviously. Not too much is known about these creatures, however, other than that. They have been seen kneeling when without purpose, or lying down on their belly. Why is not known, but it is possible that they are resting or sleeping, or regaining Manna.
Some theorize that these creatures are enchanted ice that carved itself, and by kneeling and lying down, it recharges the Manna that it needs to continue living.
To kill, one must essentially just hit it enough. They have no vitals, so the way to kill it is just to hit it enough. Best strategies include using hammers to cut the legs then smashing the ribs, using Ballistae to kill it, or fire, if solo, although the effectiveness is limited at best, as the cold snuffs most of the fire. However, hotter things, such as using tier 4 fireball spells or an excellent quality firesword with powerful enchantments.
