"Giant shards of ice twist together into the form of a living creature. Frozen spikes jut out in all directions from the Greater Ice Elemental's body, threatening to impale those who venture too close."[1]

Greater Ice Elementals are Elemental Constructs from the Dungeons and Dragons portion of the continuity, and were included in the Glaun Bog Raiders expansion. Wizards of the Coast did not write lore bios for their Dungeons and Dragons Heroscape units, and so we know relatively little about these characters.
