Contest:New Monster Contest/Chionead

Name: Chionead (plural), Chionios (singular)

''The Chionead are evil ice spirits that are descendants of the Hyperborean Giants. They are much smaller in size and can travel anywhere by shedding their snow flesh and travelling in the air as a breeze. They can easily materialize and rebuild their snow bodies when their spirit is exposed into low temperatures thus, reforming their original build. By then, they can attack any demigod in the vicinity and when they feel most threatened, they just basically shed their flesh again and hunt another demigod in another area.''

Appearance: The basic concept of the appearance of a Chionios is based on the character Marshmallow, the giant snowman sentry that Elsa has created.

Abilities:
 * 1) They have minor control over the ice and snow
 * 2) Their presence automatically whips up a small snowstorm in the winter or in the case of summer, decreases the temperature dramatically.
 * 3) They are able to exhale frost from their mouth, freezing the object it touched.
 * 4) They have very sharp ice dagger claws which they can detach from their hand so that it may be used as a projectile.
 * 5) They can shed their flesh and travel in the air to other places with low temperatures

History: WIP

Strengths
 * 1) Their bodies are made of snow which means that they are invulnerable and impenetrable by any celestial bronze weapons.
 * 2) They can reform their bodies into any shape and can disguise themselves as your average looking winter snowman, preying on the unsuspecting demigod.
 * 3) They can quickly shed their flesh and flee by joining with the air when they feel most threatened.
 * 4) Their large body gives them quite the strength.

Weaknesses
 * 1) Their large bodies grant them limited running space as they cannot easily fit into alleys in which demigods in the city may run into.
 * 2) They hate direct sunlight and being exposed to it slowly cripples them, enabling demigods to easily run away during the day as the day is the peak of most human activities.
 * 3) Being too close to fire or anything that has a high temperature will result into their body melting and their spirits disintegrating.
 * 4) They cannot do much during the summer as they would be isolated in the much colder regions of the earth like Antartica, Alaska or Siberia.
