Frost Prowler[edit]
As the Skiv lifted off the port and drifted off into the astral sea, clinging to the side unseen, the catlike alien stalks its prey. Her eyes narrowed into slits as she watched with calculating intelligence, the guard pacing in a predictable pattern. With a rush of speed and grace, the blur of the frost prowlers tail was fast. Lightning fast. Before the guard could even scream, the lithe bony tail pierced through the heart and pulled it right out to grip her catch with sadistic glee. Before the body could even collapse, the skin became frost, a sheen of ice cascading down the terrified face before turning to solid ice. Cold. Death. Lifting herself up enjoying her meal, she casually kicks the guard off the Skiv as it fell hard until an eventual shatter is heard only seconds later. "Too Easy~"
Physical Description[edit]
Frost Prowler's are a deadly race of grace and lethality. These hybrid creatures were created as experimental weapons in hopes to glide across battlefields, eviscerating enemies. Mixing the elegance of a Tabaxi's form and the swift brutality of a terrifying Xenomorph, a Frost Prowler can be a perfect weapon if you happen to befriend one
History[edit]
Frost Prowlers were created with the intent to be controlled and used as weapons. When they were gifted intelligence, they became far too aware to be contained as simple weapons. As such, Frost Prowlers revel in breaking their chains and slaying any who may oppose their freedoms. As these creatures escaped and made themselves their own kin, they have grown to be a rather respectable race on their own, proving capable of higher thought and even capable of civilization if left unprovoked. Since these creatures were made for brutal combat, almost everything is considered a weapon. Between their deadly claws and their prehensile tail, they are capable of close and medium range combat readily. However their most terrifying trait is their blood. The blood of a Frost Prowler freezes outside its body and they are capable of piercing their targets and injecting that blood to freeze their victims solid
