Spirit Hunt back up

    Target: Winter King
   Type: Ethereal
  Threat Level: High
   Visual: Manifests in the form of a large white stag with red or blue eyes, as well as a skeletal stag, a humanoid skeleton with a deer's skull for a head; with or without some form of tattered clothing in this form.

   Capabilities: Invisibility.
   Physical contact same as physical beings however physical action against it does little to no damage save by other beings or weapons of the same or similar nature.
   Ice and cold manipulation: high level ability to manifest low temperatures and ice in physics defying ways, immediate threat.
   Wind Manipulation: Minor, seems only able to do so outdoors in conjunction with manifesting snow and ice for form isolated blizzards.

  Behavior:
   A predatory spiritual entity that manifests in forested areas during cold periods, especially when snow, frost, or ice are present. Appears normally only at night and wanders about. Has been known in legends to only appear deep in the forest hunting animals or else lost hunters; however those "deep in the forest" areas due to urbanization have become the backyards of many residential neighborhoods as this particular spirit while haunting "deep woods" was not specified as haunting mountain areas as many spirit like it have; thus has become a serious problem. Reports indicate the majority of this type of spirit have either become spiritually bound to certain Deer Men tribes or else sealed away under strone circles or inside "witch trees". However again development of wilderness areas has released a good number of these; although the threat due to habit could not be immediatly known as despite a "witch tree" or stone seal being broken during warm month development the spirit would not appear till the following winter. Instances on record of a Winter King targeting a specific house nearest its location of being sealed away; and undergoes "haunting" behavior, appearing near the edges of the property line (may have a taste for fear), causing damage and emotional trauma for its victims before closing in for the kill.

   Weaknesses: Can be harmed physically by enchanted and necro-force entities and items; however permanent destruction does not appear possible as it is a fully ethereal being manifesting in the physical world.
   Symbolism: Vulnerable to being warded off and even sealed away via the use of specific materials, symbols, and shamantic chants. In particular burning ashwood in a bonfire, especially with a lingering aroma will prevent it from approaching a house. As will pine wreaths nailed to a fence with iron nails. Hawk feathers tied together with creeping rose vines, crawling ivy, or poison ivy vines; this can be used as a fan that dispels the physical state of the spirit in short range for a few seconds. Specific rituals are required to completly seal one away; or the use of all purpose sealing containers produced by the research team.


  "Okay team, you've read the sheet, this is the creature that as you can plainly see, uncharateristically appeared in broad daylight in the streets of New York fighting this other creature. Expect the unexpected, keep your tools at the read. The locator team will go in first, find it, sealing team surround it, and our resident expert will come in once isolated and seal it up in the jar. Do not use live rounds, you'll only hit each other, those are for anything it might summon; yes it can do that, and yes I am aware the pamphlet doesn't say that. Its presence in a major metropolis also suggests someone or something is behind its being here; cultists are our best bet, some other creatures trying to get a territorial edge in the city another. There have been some territorial conflicts of late; the overly public outburst a likely result of that. So keep an eye out for those, and guard the sealing team's backs, anyone who can summon this thing in a city has a good chance of identifying the ones able to put it away. Except heavy resistance in that event."
