Cryotan

When Ouros and Igursus were created from a mountain, there was a dangerous side effect: Cryotan. This massive creature emerged from the base where the mountain used to stand. It took both Ouros and Igursus to seal him in ice. Unfortunately, Cryotan has now managed to escape.

Counters
Cryotan is susceptible to possession, so monsters such as Eggeater or Nishant's Pet can make him MegaFreeze and set Death Counters to his teammates. Being immobilized by the possession also allows for you to pick away at his health with solid attackers such as VoltaiK before he can do too much damage. Only ways to counter its Special is when you have a monster with Sudden Death Immunity like Oghma, Hardened trait monsters, or a monster with evasion moves like Alex Bone or Gakora.
