Innate Spellcasting
The yuki-onna's spell casting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 20). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
Special
Snow Dependency
A yuki-onna that is outside of a snowing area and does not have its Snowstorm trait active because of a control weather spell has disadvantage on all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks.
Special
Snowstorm
A yuki-onna is surrounded by whirling blasts of snow, even in areas that wouldn't allow for such weather, that comprise a 200-foot-radius spread. Within this area, the snowfall and wind gusts cause disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) ability and ranged weapon attacks. A yuki-onna is unaffected by snowstorms or blizzards of any kind. A control weather spell can be used to negate the snowstorm.

|Chilling Touch
A yuki-onna's touch causes 1d6 cold damage. Whenever a creature takes cold damage in this manner, it must make a Paralysis save to avoid being staggered by the supernatural cold for 1 round. This duration stacks.
Special
|Chilling Touch
Fascinating Gaze A creature within 40 feet of this creature must succeed at a Paralysis saving throw or be fascinated for 5d6 rounds. If the creature has 4 or fewer Hit Dice, it is instead dazed for 5d6 rounds. An argus can't use this ability in the same round it uses frightful presence.
Special
|Chilling Touch
Incorporeal You have no physical body. You can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons, and spells, spell-like abilites, or supernatural abilities.. You are immune to all nonmagical attack forms. Corporeal spells and effects that do not cause damage only have a 50% chance of affecting you. Force spells and effects, such as from a magic missile, affect you normally.
Special
|Chilling Touch
Snow Dependency Snowstorm A yuki-onna is staggered if she is ever in an area without snow while her snowstorm aura is suppressed or otherwise not functioning.
Special
|Chilling Touch
A yuki-onna is surrounded by whirling blasts of snow, even in areas that wouldn't allow for such weather, that comprise a 200-foot-radius spread. Within this area, the snowfall and wind gusts cause a -4 penalty on ranged attacks and perception-related checks. The wind itself blows in a clockwise rotation around the yuki-onna, and functions as severe wind. A yuki-onna is unaffected by snowstorms or blizzards of any kind. Any effect that causes these winds to drop below severe (such as control weather or control winds) cancels the snowstorm effect entirely.

A yuki-onna is staggered if she is ever in an area without snow while her snowstorm aura is suppressed or otherwise not functioning.
Special
Snowstorm (Su)
A yuki-onna is surrounded by whirling blasts of snow, even in areas that wouldn't allow for such weather, that comprise a 200-foot-radius spread. Within this area, the snowfall and wind gusts cause a -4 penalty on Perception checks and ranged attacks. The wind itself blows in a clockwise rotation around the yuki-onna, and functions as severe wind (Core Rulebook 439). A yuki-onna is unaffected by snowstorms or blizzards of any kind. Any effect that causes these winds to drop below severe (such as control weather or control winds) cancels the snowstorm effect entirely.
A yuki-onna is the restless spirit of a woman who froze to death in the snow and was never given a proper burial.
She roams the wilderness, constantly searching for intelligent creatures to kill and always appearing surrounded by swirling mists of snow and ice.
Eternally jaded by her unjust departure to the afterlife, a yuki-onna seeks to impose the same cruel fate upon those who still live, particularly men and those who sympathize or cooperate with them. Many foolish individuals are lured to their deaths by a yukionna's unparalleled beauty, which remains even as the evil spirit steadily freezes and kills her victims with her powers over frost. A yuki-onna is 5-1/2 feet tall.
The transition from life to undeath corrupts a yuki-onna's soul, and even a well-intentioned, good-hearted individual who freezes in the snow may become a treacherous yuki-onna. Most yukionnas immediately seek out those who wronged them in life, after which they reside in an area near what was their home, haunting and killing anyone who dares to come near. Yuki-onnas hardly ever make their presences known in rural areas with larger populations, and they prefer inhabiting the countryside and wilderness. When a yuki-onna is destroyed, her body melts as though ice, leaving only a small pool of water in its stead.
