The Frozen Ones
Verum Barbaros
Basic Information
Anatomy
The Praesticus Ones are somewhere in between humanoids and elementals. It is hard to distinguish one from the other, but it is very uncommon that a native Novarkan species is humanoid-like, since the only other humanoids who ever existed in this plane where the Kin according to historical records. However, their elemental factor is much more distinct, since they are beings made of ice, magical ice, but they have been proven to also have a flesh core, which is suspected to harbor the "life" they exhibit.
Moreover, their icy "skin" seems to be rather uneven in growth, some limbs have exponentially more spikes than others, anywhere in their body a cluster may grow, their vision may be covered by their own crystals, or they may become cripple by a malformed cluster.

Genetics and Reproduction
It is unknown if they have reproductive capabilities, but if they are organic lifeforms, they should...
Ecology and Habitats
The Praesticus Ones claim the entirety of the North as their territory, but their bastion is the Permafrost. No northern village in sight is safe from their yearly raids, and they are ruthless when they do so.
Solutions like extermination of their kind or diplomacy with their leaders have been put on the table, but little progress has been made as of yet.

Dietary Needs and Habits
They are said to consume meat, rocks and magically infused metal. Said to give them power and sustain their element. So be careful leaving your magical items at home!
Behaviour
They are suspected not to be entirely unemotional. Theories say that they can feel things and have a brain that works as expected, since they seem responsive to psychic and aberrant magic, so, one way or another, there must be a way to make a pacific resolution.
Additional Information
