🦌 2. GLACIAL TRICERATOPS — Ice-Hardened Survivors

They say these Primals turned to ice over time, forced by famine to adapt in the only way nature allowed. A strange mutation took root - an ability to consume and draw energy from ice itself. Leaner but far swifter than their ancient kin, Glacial Triceratops roam the frozen plains of Savarran, their bodies creaking with every step.

My arrow bounced off its hide. It didn't even flinch... but I swear an ice shard fell off. -Novice Hunter Theodora

Rift Ledger Entry included.

👁️ 3. WINTERMAW — The Lakebound Lurkers

High atop the frozen mountains of The Hollow, WinterMaws drift beneath the surface of icy lakes - cold cousins to the volcanic Cindermaws. Silent, patient, and impossibly still, they wait for warmth… any warmth… to breach their frozen domain.

Aye... fool dragged one in, kept stabbin' it. By mornin', our village was a glacial wasteland. -Village Elder Bob

Rift Ledger Entry included.

🏰 NEW TILE — “THE ICE CASTLE RUINS”

A frozen battleground carved from ancient stone and frost. Expect:

  • Slick traversal paths

  • Strong walls against enemies

  • A cold place for respite

❄️ NEW ICE-THEMED PICKUPS

Cold-aligned pickup FX - synergistic with the new tile.

🔼 GAMEPLAY IMPROVEMENTS

  • Boosted overall effectiveness of pickups (minor but meaningful)

  • Stability and performance improvements

❄️ THE COLD MOON IS HERE

Step into the frost. Survive the hunt. And remember... under the Cold Moon, the snow remembers every footstep.
