Ecology: Found in the Arctic regions, hoar foxes have a lot in common with their cousins, the Arctic foxes. They mainly eat mice, lemmings, and small ground-dwelling rodents, pick over carrion from wolf and polar bear kills, and avoid anything larger than they are.
Personality/Motivations: Normal animal motivations.
Powers/Tactics: Although the hoar fox will usually flee from a threatening encounter, and aren't normally aggressive, a cornered and/or wounded hoar fox can breath forth a frigid blast of frost on a foe (or foes). If in a pack, a single fox may breath forth frost, while the rest scatter, or several may combine attacks on a single, large, foe.
Appearance: Roughly 4' in length from nose to the tip of their tail, hoar foxes are noted for their beautiful silvery-gray fur, with brave and/or foolhardy trappers doing their best to capture hoar foxes without harming the pelts.
Designer's Notes: The hoar fox is found in the 1st Edition AD&D Field Folio. Game Masters may want to consider making the hoar fox's Blast of Frost power an Area of Effect Cone, or allowing it to affect the full 8" Line the Advantage allows for.
