The Abominable Icemonster was a large bipedal arctic predator rumored, but not confirmed, to exist on Rudolpho. One telling of the legend, from a December 3151 livestream of conspiracy theory and strange stories streaming channel House Clan McRaven-Avellar drawing on an alleged 3036 journal of prospector Klondike Clementine, described a massive biped - over 900 kilograms for males, up to 80 percent of that size for females - covered in white fur everywhere but the blue face. The Icemonster was allegedly highly agile, particularly adept at climbing, and was said to use tools.[1]
It was said to be an opportunistic hunter willing to attack and eat humans, but to to have primarily preyed on the reindeer of Rudolpho as well as wild boars. It hated the color red, feared dogs, and, per Clementine's alleged claims, could even be domesticated and trained if stripped of all of its teeth.[1]
Notes[edit]
- The Abominable Icemonster, along with much of its associated Shrapnel article, is a nod to the Rankin/Bass Christmas television special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and its abominable snow monster Bumble.
- Both A Time of War and MechWarrior: Destiny stats are available in issue 7 of Shrapnel.
