Boreas' melee attacks are magical and deal an additional 18 (4d8) cold damage (included in the attack). Ice Walk.

Rampage. When Boreas, reduces a creature to 0 hit points with a melee attack on its turn, Boreas can take a bonus action to move up to half its speed and make a slam attack. Reckless. At the start of its turn, Boreas can gain advantage on all melee weapon attack rolls during that turn, but attack rolls against it have advantage until the start of its next turn. Turn Immunity. Boreas is immune to effects that turn undead. Additionally, any undead within 60 feet of it have advantage on saving throws against those effects. Undead Fortitude. If damage reduces Boreas to 0 hit points, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 10 + 1/2 damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, Boreas drops to 1 hit point instead. ACTIONSMultiattack. Boreas makes three melee weapon attacks. Enlarge (Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). For 1 minute, Boreas magically increases in size, along with anything it is wearing or carrying.

Cold Breath (Recharge 5-6). Boreas exhales an icy blast in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw, taking 54 (12d8) cold damage plus 13 (3d8) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Horrifying Visage. Each non-undead creature of the Boreas' choice within range must make a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. A frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if Boreas is within line of sight, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a target's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the target is immune to the Boreas' Horrifying Visage for the next 24 hours. It cannot use this and its Maddening Presence on the same turn and against a creature that is affected by the other. Maddening Presence. Each creature of the Boreas' choice within 30 feet of Boreas and aware of it must succeed on a DC 19 Intelligence saving throw or become insane for 1 minute. An insane target has disadvantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws. An affected creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. The effect also ends if the target is subjected to the effects of a greater restoration spell or similar magic. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the Boreas' Maddening Presence for the next 24 hours. It cannot use this and its Horrifying Visage on the same turn and against a creature that is affected by the other.
