Creature Spawning
Silver-scaled cold wyrms are rare creatures that periodically spawn in the Hinterwilds once about every six hours. There is a series of monsterbold alert messaging seen throughout the entire Hinterwilds locale that warns that a wyrm is about to spawn. Wyrms are actually spawned upon the final iteration of these alerts which also indicates the general location of where the wyrm has landed.
Once spawned, a silver-scaled cold wyrm will quickly travel room-by-room throughout the Hinterwilds areas. If the wyrm is not engaged for a period of about 10 minutes, it will automatically de-spawn.

Hunting Strategies
- The only locations in the Hinterwilds that wyrms will not enter are the confines of Cold River village, crystalline glade, and the waters of the Issenflow River.
- The wyrms will enter structures throughout the Hinterwilds, including areas that other spawned creatures will not access.
Currently the design of silver-scaled cold wyrms is in flux and has been adjusted over the years. It has indicated by staff that the current iteration is not its final form. Both the mechanics and behavior of wyrms has varied greatly between these different variations, each more difficult than the previous.
Puzzle
It has been indicated by staff that slaying a silver-scaled cold wyrm will eventually be an entry point for a yet to be released puzzle.
Engagement
While a few adventurers have slain a wyrm in one-on-one combat, the creature is designed with the intent of requiring a party of player characters to defeat. However, if approached by a party with more than five player characters there is an automatic suppression mechanic that renders all characters present non-functional for a time.
Death
When a wyrm is killed, its corpse cannot be skinned or searched. The corpse immediately becomes a silver-shot black stone wyrm upon interaction or upon decaying. This lifeless stone wyrm becomes a temporary prop in the room in which the wyrm was slain and persists for about six hours before crumbling away.
> LOOT wyrm Color leaches from the scales of the mighty cold wyrm as they lose their vital sheen, degenerating into a lustrous substance with a hue reminiscent of anthracite, but streaked through with veins of flashing silver. Soon, all that remains is a tenebrous stone monument resembling the wyrm in her death throes.
> LOOK at wyrm The statue is eerily lifelike and stands more than forty feet tall. It has been expertly fashioned to resemble a vast, winged saurian beast in its death throes, and looks as if it might spring to life at any moment.
