Description
Its appearance resembles somewhat a worm. Unlike a true worm, a frost worm's head is made of strong plates with a large number of black spider-like eyes, and a pair of strong maw. Frost worms are generally colored from white to light-blue, making them fit the icy landscape perfectly. Their body can generate intense cold, freezing those who come to close to him.
Frost worms prefer to bury themselves in the snow, waiting for prey to come near and then jump out and bite. Their thick skin also serves as protection against enemies. A frost worm can emit terrible noise that paralyzes his prey. The only thing that isn't affected by its terrible howl is other frost worms. Also if a frost worm is killed its body will turn to ice and shatter, damaging anything around it.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.”
—Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe (b. 1919)
