**Description:** The Greenland Warden is a towering, ice-covered creature resembling a giant, humanoid beast with crystalline spikes protruding from its back. Born from the ancient glaciers of Greenland, it serves as a guardian of the frozen lands, fiercely defending its territory against intruders. The Warden employs hit-and-run tactics, using its ability to create difficult terrain to hinder foes while launching icy projectiles from a distance. Its demeanor is cold and calculating, showing little mercy to those who threaten the sanctity of its domain.
