+The '''Cold Ones''', also known as '''Ylidheem''', are a race of semi-corporeal ice-spirits like ice-cold howling ghosts who serve the Great Old Ones [[Aphoom Zhah]] and [[Rlim Shaikorth]].  Though not immaterial, these nearly vaporous entities can slip through the smallest of cracks to pursue and kill their victims with frostbite-like attacks.  The victims are usually frozen solid, their bodies appearing eerily white, and remain preternaturally cold, not melting nor warming even when exposed to fire, but some victims instead rise up as Cold Ones themselves after death.
