A winter wolf grows about 8 feet long and stands about 4-1/2 feet at the shoulder. It weighs about 450 pounds.

Winter wolves can speak [[SRD:Giant Type|Giant]] and Common.

===Combat===

Winter wolves typically hunt in packs. Their size, cunning, and formidable [[SRD:Breath Weapon|breath weapon]] allow them to hunt and kill creatures much larger than themselves. A pack usually circles an opponent, each wolf attacking in turn to exhaust it. If they’re in a hurry, white wolves try to pin their foes.

'''[[SRD:Breath Weapon|Breath Weapon]] ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' 15-foot cone, once every 1d4 rounds, damage 4d6 cold, [[SRD:Saving Throw|Reflex]] [[SRD:DC|DC]] 16 half. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based.  

'''Freezing Bite ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' A winter wolf deals an extra 1d6 points of cold damage every time it bites an opponent, as if its bite were a frost weapon.

'''Trip ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' A winter wolf that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+8 check modifier) as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]] without making a [[SRD:Touch Attack|touch attack]] or provoking an [[SRD:Attacks of Opportunity|attack of opportunity]]. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the winter wolf.

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' Winter wolves have a +1 racial bonus on [[SRD:Listen Skill|Listen]], [[SRD:Move Silently Skill|Move Silently]], and [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]] checks. Winter [[SRD:Wolf|wolves]] have a +2 racial bonus on [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] checks. *Their natural coloration grants them a +7 racial bonus on [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] checks in areas of snow and ice. A winter wolf has a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Survival Skill|Survival]] checks when tracking by [[SRD:Scent|scent]].
