The snow angel can breathe air and water. Camouflage. When covered by snow, the snow angel appears to be an actual “snow angel” that was created by someone laying in the snow and waving their hands and feet. The snow angel usually adds some seemingly valuable trinket—usually from a previous victim—in the center of the snow angel, as if it was accidentally left behind. It takes a DC 18 Wisdom (Perception) check to notice that something is a bit “off” about the snow angel imprint or to spot the small hole that the snow angel is breathing through. Pass without Trace. Snow angels have the ability to slither through snow without leaving any traces of their movements. Thus, the movements of a snow angel can only be tracked by magical means. They receive a +10 bonus to Dexterity(Stealth) checks when moving around other creatures if there is at least half a foot of snow on the ground. ACTIONS Multiattack. The snow angel can make three attacks with its tentacles or two attacks with its tentacles and one with its bite. Tentacles. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (4d8+3) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 16). Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the snow angel can’t use the tentacle on another target. It may, however, bludgeon a grappled creature with another tentacle. Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 36 (6d10+3) piercing damage. The snow angel prefers to bite creatures it has grappled, although it also bites those who step on it while it’s hidden.

{{{description}}} The snow angel is a strange and disturbing creature—an invertebrate hexapod that buries itself in the snow and attracts the curious with playful indentations in the snow and the promise of a reward. This large creature originated in the coldest depths of the ocean, adapting to life on land in the coldest regions where it learned to use snow as a mode of transport as well as camouflage. While not particularly intelligent, the snow angel has a shrewd animal cunning and has learned to save the shiny things it comes across on its feedings and travels to entice curious wanderers in the snow. While this often attracts the most vulnerable members of a rural community, snow angels who settle too close to such places often end up trapping dogs and domesticated animals, hopefully providing much needed clues to local authorities that something dangerous is lurking nearby.
