A remorhaz, also known as a polar worm or ice worm, was a monstrous beast resembling a cross between a worm and a centipede. A remorhaz was a creature that thrived in cold environments, particularly arctic regions, such as The Vale of Everwinter. A remorhaz had leathery tough wings (which it could not use to fly), an insect-like head, and a 40 feet (12 meters) scaly body. It was ice-blue in color, had dozens of legs, and its back glowed red with an inner fire that could melt all but the strongest of metals. It had horns along its body and dagger-like teeth. It naturally had very high magic resistance. A remorhaz produced an incredible amount of heat, allowing it to take advantage of the vulnerability that many creatures in its native environment possessed. Its heat also allowed it to melt nonmagical weapons that struck its red-hot protrusions. A remorhaz liked to wait in ambush for its potential prey. When a living creature drew near, the remorhaz sprang from the ground and struck. It primarily used its teeth in combat, or swallowed its opponent whole and subjected it to its gizzard and fiery insides.
