Actions

Ice Venom Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 18 (3d8) cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. After bitten you take half of the damage of the ice venom damage every subsequent round at the beginning of the creatures turn. A lesser Restoration  or Remove poison is required to remove the poison. All ice venom damage will lower your max hit points until the ice venom is removed. If your hit points reach 0 you turn into a statue of ice.  A greater restoration will restore the ice statue back into normal form bringing the creatures back this way will restore them to one hit point.

Snow Flurry. Once per round as a reaction the winter serpent can turn into snow flurry  and take half damage to the attack.

Description

Pure white scales with ice blue eyes. This monster was created when a water serpent was altered by a wild magic area in the arctic waters. After a few generations the Winter serpent became a different from the original species and hunt in packs.  The serpents are very patient and after biting the soon to be meal they meld into the snow and ice and hide close by until the creature turns into an ice statue and they then eat the ice made from there kill.
