Appendix C: Creatures - Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden

Appendix C: Creatures. This appendix describes new creatures that appear in the adventure, presenting them in alphabetical order. The introduction of the Monster Manual explains how to interpret a creature's stat block. Several of the creatures in this appendix are common beasts-foxes, hares, mountain goats, seals, sperm whales, and walruses-that live among other beasts from the Monster Manual, such as polar bears, deer, elk, reindeer (use the elk stat block), killer whales, mammoths, moose (use the giant goat stat block), saber-toothed tigers, snowy owls, woolly rhinoceroses, and wolves. And then there's the notoriously ugly knucklehead trout, without which there would be no Ten-Towns. If the adventuring party includes a wizard who can prepare the find familiar spell, consider allowing the wizard to add the fox and the hare to the spell's list of eligible familiars.
