Entropy, Gods, and Goals
Snowsprites, according to the elder, were meant to allow creatures desiring shelter from cold to follow them to warmth, but here, they became death traps.
Prey animals flocked like moths to a flame. An antlered, quadrupedal mammalian specimen. Three rabbits with exceptional size exceeding a meter and a half.
These prey specimen, the goblin swarm worked together to entrap and hunt. Once they had slaughtered them, the Collector dispelled the Snowsprites again to minimize its presence.
These prey specimens did not possess much magical energy flowing through them, nor were their genetic samples particularly useful, but sampling them did indicate information about specimen generally in this area.
It would seem that far up enough north, the constant and severe Grainfall acted as an evolutionary push for specimen to enlarge themselves to better accommodate themselves to the temperatures.
