View source for Ice Borer (3.5e Monster)

=== Combat ===

Ice borers like to strike and retreat, making full use of their ability to create cover for themselves and use their frost bite ability. A typical ice borer uses the following tactics:

* Round 1: Burrow Strike a target, hitting with a frost bite.
* Round 2: Withdraw action to go below ground.
* Round 3: Repeat.

Adult and greater ice borers will sometimes stay above ground to make two attacks per round if they can use frost bite, increasing the overall damage it can deal. They also will often work together to create flanking opportunities.
