These carnivores are found in wild forests from the arctic to the temperate zones. They always hunt in packs and if hungry (75%) they will not hesitate to follow and attack prey, always seeking to strike at an unguarded moment. They love horsemeat.
Their howling is 50% likely to panic herbivores which are not being held by humans and calmed.
If encountered in their lair there is a 30% chance that there will be 1-4 cubs per pair of adult wolves. Cubs do not fight and can be trained as war dogs or hunting beasts.

The coat of the winter wolf is glistening white or silvery, and its eyes are very pale blue or silvery.
The winter wolf is a horrid carnivore which inhabits only chill regions. It is of great size and foul disposition. The pelt of the creature is valued at 5,000 gold pieces.
Winter wolves can use their savage jaws or howl forth a blast of frost which will coat any creature within 1" of their muzzle. This frost causes 6-24 hit points damage — half that amount if a saving throw versus dragon Breath is successful. The winter wolf is able to use the howling frost but once per 10 melee rounds.
Cold-based attacks do not harm them, but fire-based attacks cause +1 per die of damage normally caused.
They have their own language and can also converse with worgs.
