Cryonax appears as a 15' tall [yeti] with tentacles covered with suction cups in place of arms.
He radiates 1-6 points of cold damage continually,
affecting all within 15' (those with resistance to cold take half damage,
but there is no saving throw as such against this).
He attacks as a 20 HD monster with two tentacles,
each of which inflicts 5-20 hit points of damage; <trim>
in addition the victim must save versus paralyzation or be frozen in place for 3-12 full turns.
Cryonax can only be damaged by +2 or better weapons. <trim, add to AC>

There is a cumulative 10% chance that any particular weapon hitting Cryonax will shatter;
if the weapon does break,
damage inflicted by that particular hit is nullified.

As a prince of evil creatures of cold,
Cryonax may summon one of the following groups once per day:
1-4 white dragons,
1-4 frost giants,
or 1-6 [yeti].
<sp>

In addition he can,
thrice <(3 times)> per day,
produce a triple-strength wall of ice,
can [hold person],
and can cast an [ice storm] of 4-40 points.
<3 times per day, each?>
<sp>
 

Once per day (1 per day),
he can cause a blast of cold of 15-dice strength.
<15d6?>

Fire attacks against Cryonax are at +2 hit probability and do an additional point of damage <(+1 damage)> per attack die.
Cold attacks add to his hit points in an amount =equal= <> to the intended damage,
up to but not exceeding his original 90 hit points.
He is completely immune to poison, nor can he be turned to stone.
    <above sentence can be edited, instead :
    SPECIAL DEFENSES: Immune=poison, Immune=petrification, See below
    or somesuch>

This prince lives in a huge castle of ice,
quartz and glass,
situated at the juncture of the Planes of Air and Water and drawing power from the Negative Material Plane.
<revise to: Para-Elemental Plane of Ice>
