Their unceasing hunger drives them to pursue elk herds, seal colonies, and human villages. Ones that regenerate while sealed within ice floes or permafrost can be birthed from the ice during a thaw after being trapped for months, years, or even decades of unceasing hunger before they can finally break free.

Its Dying condition never increases beyond Dying 3 as long as its regeneration is active. However, if it takes damage of a type listed in the regeneration entry, its regeneration deactivates until the end of its next turn. Deactivate the regeneration before applying any damage of a listed type, since that damage might kill the monster by bringing it to Dying 4.
