A Snow Orc is a white-haired relative of the normal orc, well-suited to cold mountain lairs. It appears even more bestial than its normal orcish brethren. Its feet are very wide and allows it to traverse snow with ease. A snow orc is so hairy that it can walk in a blizzard without additional clothes, though it prefers to wear armor and long capes.

A snow orc is never affected by cold weather, and treats snowy or icy terrain as road terrain for the sake of movement. While cold-based magic does affect it, a snow orc saves against cold magic as a 10th-level Fighter rather than 1st-level. Like other orcs it has Darkvision to a range of 60 feet. It speaks the Orcish tongue, but may also speak Common, Goblin, or even Giant.
