Homebrew Glaceon Species Details

"Glaceon, the Fresh Snow Pokémon and the evolved form of Eevee. Glaceon can freeze the fur on its body, and make it stick out like sharp needles."

— The national Pokédex

Glaceons are mammalian creatures covered in light-blue fur that can be frozen into sharp quills. They have long, pointed ears, dark eyes, small noses. A teal crest with two dangling flaps adorns their heads, resembling hair or headgear. Glaceons have two dark blue, rhombus-shaped markings on their back; the tip of its tail, feet, and flaps are the same shade of blue.

By controlling their body temperature, the moisture in the air freezes, producing ice crystals surrounding themselves. They are capable of freezing their fur into sharp needle-like icicles, used to tackle their foes. They can drop their body temperature below -75 degrees Fahrenheit. Those captivated by a Glaceon's beautiful snowfall risk being instantly frozen without realizing it. Glaceons often stick to cold regions, where their icy physiology serves them well.

Glaceons evolve from Eevees who have been imbued with ice magic, usually by touching a stone, or who have undergone training in the midst of exceptionally cold conditions.

Cold Life

Glaceons are thought to be most at home amongst cold regions such as mountains and tundras. They tend to have limited contact with other races, except for the few that venture beyond their villages.

Frigid Craftsmanship

Glaceon craftsmen have unique skills concerning the manipulation of ice and snow, and can employ these skills to make wonderful works of art out of nothing but moisture which they freeze themselves. A Glaceon will often trade their services in exchange for money or goods that are hard to find back home, and bring said goods back to sell back to their own kind.

Peace and Tranquility

Glaceons favor peace and tranquility above all else. They despise disturbances, and will come off as especially cold and even rude to troublemakers or ne'er-do-wells. Outsiders who do not behave themselves in Glaceon lands are often flash-frozen, and never heard from again.

Cold body.

Having ice itself infused in your physiology, cold does not easily affect you, and in fact it is when you are most comfortable. You are resistant to cold damage.

Additionally, as a bonus action, you can reduce your own body temperature, (up to -75 degrees Fahrenheit). Manipulating your body temperature in this way will cause you to radiate cold, freezing moisture in the air into ice crystals. In this way, it is possible to stave off the effects of heatstroke and dehydration for your party members while in hot environments, such as a desert, within 10 feet of yourself. In addition, while Cold body is active, you gain access to the icicle fur action, and you are able to cast the spell ice knife at first level without using a spell slot a number of times equal to your constitution modifier, with a minimum of one use. Dexterity is your spellcasting modifier for this spell. additionally, you have easy access to the material component for the spell by virtue of there being frozen moisture in your midst.

You can use another bonus action to deactivate this feature. If you expend all your uses of this feature by casting ice knife, your body temperature reverts to normal and you lose the rest of Cold Body's benefits. You regain your uses of this feature after a long rest.

Brittle Ice
