forelimbs. Each head is just over half a meter long, with a spiny
ridge along the top of the skull and thirty-six long teeth. Its rear

King Frost (sometimes called Crackle Frost or just Frost) is
a solitary, mischievous and sometimes malevolent prankster
spirit creature. It has been reported as appearing in several
forms, though this has not yet been verified and these different
forms may in fact be separate spirit types. Such forms have
included whirling snow, a man made of ice and a pale white
woman. The spirit often makes a crackling noise, like breaking
ice, when using its powers.
