Part 4 · Monsters & Creatures
Snowy Razorclaw
Although the Snowy Razorclaw mostly hunts small mammals, this Freljordian beast’s claws are enough to turn almost anything into a meal.
Among the many beasts hidden within Freljord’s snow, the Snowy Razorclaw stands out for its unique build. These massive, flightless birds use their size combined with their surprising camouflage and stalking skills to sneak up on and ambush their prey.
Even though their diet is mostly made up of small rodents, they’re fully capable of feeding on creatures as large as (or larger than) humans. Their choice of prey is particularly appreciated by those who witness just how destructive these beasts can be.
