Xidhru is a hulking humanoid entity standing roughly 12’ (3.65M) tall. He is covered in crimson fur, though his veins glow bright enough to be noticeable through the fur. His eyes glow an eerie icy-blue and his sharp teeth clearly defines him as a carnivore.  He has razor sharp claws that can quickly tear through anything unfortunate enough to draw his ire… or be his meal.

Species: Eldritch Things
Species Lore: Not much is known about Eldritch Things, their low population offers little chance for knowledge of their kind.  They share few similarities with each other, both in appearance and in abilities. They have a very long lifespan, many having lived long enough to see nations rise and fall. Due to their supernatural abilities, several are revered as gods and have cults dedicated to them (though few care about others, even their own worshippers). 

Faction: None currently.

Personality: Brutish, Aggressive

Bio: Xidhru has existed in North America for hundreds of years, and in that time he has prowled the far North for prey to feast on. His savage nature and control of Ice and Wind means that nothing can escape while he is hunting. His favorite preys were the local tribes of humans who would on occasion unfortunately travel near him. When the corpses were found, if they were found at all, they would be found ripped apart like a starving wolf would do to deer. Over time, some of the natives would leave sacrifices in the areas Xidhru frequented. When it became clear that this would be a regular occurrence,  Xidhru would not let the unnatural wind he created harm the natives for as long as the sacrifice kept coming and even gifted a portion of his powers to a select tribe who would raid other tribes for Xidhru. On occasion Xidhru even communes with some of his ‘priests’.

Recently he heard tales of an unnaturally long winter in the south. This weeping winter has gone on for far longer than it should have must be the work of another entity with abilities similar to his, the work of an entity that could prove a threat to him. What if this entity is friendlier to the humans? His worshippers might turn to this other being. Xidhru decided to investigate, intent on eliminating this potential threat before it became a problem. Maybe he could even expand his influence and make worshipers of the humans in the area.

Melee: Xidhru often uses his brute strength and sharp claws to through flesh and bone. There are few things that can withstand his attacks.

Abilities: 

  - Xidhru is able to create unnatural wind and Ice to slow his prey and absorb their warmth. His presence is often accompanied by an unusually biting cold wind.

  - Immunity to sub-zero temperatures

  -  Heightened sense of vision, hearing, and smell compared to the average human. Xidhru can track someone who has as much of a mile of a head start most of the time

  -  Xidhru is notably resistant to physical attacks such as from a sword or bullets from a rifle though he is weak to magical attacks, even more so to fire (though he is capable of shrugging off a few blows before feeling threatened)

Other: 
- Xidhru, being very aggressive, hates backing down and often does not retreat unless he feels his demise is likely. Though this rarely happens, on occasion potential prey happens to be well prepared or lucky enough to fend him off. 

-  While he often sees others as potential sources of food, he on occasion cooperates with others if their goals align. This usually does not last long after Xidhru has no need of them however.
