The Strigga is a spirit of the ice and darkness that lives amongst the deep glaciers of the Night Side. They are blue scaled, lizard-like bipeds, who bear a crest and mane of feathery ice. Strigga are constantly surrounded by an aura of freezing cold, as are the icy weapons they wield (or anything else that they touch). Strigga have little contact with mortals, appearing to value only the ruins of the ancients, which they constantly seek to enter. However they sometimes aid Black Order Mages or attack Red ones. A Strigga can spend its Spirit on damage regeneration 1 for 1. They are of course immune to any form of cold based attack, but otherwise can be harmed by normal weapons (though metal ones become brittle and gain the fragile quality when striking them).

It has been suggested that a cloak made from the icy fur of a Strigga might be proof against the cold of the deep dark, but working it would be very difficult (Difficulty 22) as the creatures rapidly collapse into frost and snow when slain. Occasionally Strigga will make agreements with Black Order Magi who offer them relics of the ancients, but the creatures appear to have few emotions and will not hesitate to break an agreement they have made.

Strigga are the Icelands equivalent of the Salamander.
