Behold the formidable Basin Bellow, a behemoth of the frozen tundras, commanding its domain with an imposing presence. This massive reptilian creature boasts a thick, blubbery body adorned with sturdy osteoderms, a long neck culminating in a crocodilian head, and a tail bristling with icicle spikes. Completing its formidable visage are four robust legs, each equipped with webbed toes, attuned to the harsh and icy environment it calls home.

The Basin Bellow is a master of adaptation, claiming a frozen lake as its sole territory. Here, amidst the pristine whiteness of the icy expanse, it alternates between the roles of patient hunter and slumbering sentinel. During restful periods, it retreats to vast burrows dug along the lake shore or beneath the lake's frozen surface, conserving energy for the inevitable bursts of activity.

A true ambush predator, the Basin Bellow employs a cunning strategy, remaining motionless for hours as snowfall accumulates, rendering it indistinguishable from the surrounding landscape. When unsuspecting prey ventures too close, the Bellow unleashes its might, bursting forth from the snowy camouflage with a swift and calculated strike. Its long neck becomes a weapon, snatching prey before they can react or escape.

The Basin Bellow's versatility extends beneath the frozen surface, where its formidable claws are employed to dig through the ice, uncovering fish and other aquatic prey. However, the Bellow treads cautiously, wary of other subglacial predators that pose a threat to its dominion.

Above the icy expanse, few challengers can match the Basin Bellow's prowess. Rival Bellows are met with a display of spiked-tail intimidation, as the creature asserts its dominance over contested territories.

This CR8 creature is called a Basin Bellow and is an Umbra that lives mostly within the Frozen lake.
