    Freezing Bite (14): thrust 1d+1 cutting (KYOS: 2d+1 cutting) + 1d follow-up non-incendiary burning, Reach C.
    Breathe Frost (14): The wolf breathes out a blast of extremely cold vapor, dealing thrust 1d non-incendiary burning damage (KYOS: 1d+2) as large-area injury. Targets injured by this attack must make an HT roll, at -1 per 2 points of injury, or take a -2 penalty to DX and become Numb (p. B146) for (20-HT) minutes (minimum 1 minute). This is a cone attack that uses rules from Area and Spreading Attacks (pp. B413-414). The cone is 1-yard wide and has a length of 3 yards (ST/5). Each use costs 2 FP. It is possible to make the cone wider by using the rules from Cones of Power (GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 4: Dragons, p. 10). It will blow out any ordinary fire (candle, lantern, torch, etc.).
