Icy Aura Any creature within 10' of the Ice Lord takes 5 (1d10) Cold damage at the start of his turn, or upon entering the range of the aura, and must also make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, movement speed is halved until they make a successful saving throw at the end of their turn (with disadvantage if they remain within range of the aura). Creatures with the Ice Subtype are immune to this.

Magical Weapons The Ice Lords attacks are considered magical.

Skate When on an icy surface, the Ice Lord's land speed is doubled.

Icy Camouflage When in a snowy or icy environment, the Ice Lord does not need concealment or cover to hide.

Actions


Icy Longspear Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 10', one target. Hit: 9 (1d10+4) piercing damage plus 11 (2d10) cold damage.

Extra Attack 3 The Ice Lord makes four Icy Longspear attacks or other attack actions (not including Icy Blast).

Icy Blast Ranged Spell Attack: +7 to hit, range 120', one target. Hit: 22 (4d10) cold damage and the target must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or be restrained as ice covers them. Breaking out requires a DC 17 Strength check, usable as an attack action.

This looks like quite an interesting enemy; their saves will be decent across the board, they can't be kited too easily, especially in their preferred environment, and the aura/blast allow for some BFC. The only thing I think might be an issue is that getting this guy into close melee range might be difficult if they can see him coming...but if he had proficiency in Stealth and could hide by camouflaging in a snowy/icy environment without cover/concealment, they'd become a more Predator-style skilled hunter than the current brute with some BFC.
