Appearance

Preston similar to his species has a broad snout filled with long sharp teeth that stick out even when his mouth is closed, giving a snaggle-toothed appearance. Two pairs of the teeth are greatly enlarged to form tusks that protrude upwards from the bottom jaw. In addition to these two pairs of tusks, a single, smaller tusk is borne on the lower jaw, positioned in the center and pointing forwards.

On top of his head is a fin-shaped crest that appears to be a modified dorsal plate. His crest is grey in color aside from a small cyan strip towards the base that glows in the dark, these strips are likely for the purpose of looking like eyes to intimidate, however his real eyes lie behind the mouth. Likewise to his species, his tongue glows the same bright cyan color as the stripes on his head and the tip of his tail.

His body is almost entirely covered in shaggy white fur, with horizontal grey stripes along the back. Areas of his body that are exposed show smooth grey skin. A row of grey, sharp dorsal plates runs from his neck to around one third of the way down the tail.

He has has four squat limbs covered in fur, each limb ending with four long claws on the feet. Additionally, his forelimbs possess a dewclaw on the inside of his ankle. His body ends with a long tail that tapers to a point, the very tip of which glows cyan.

He is thought to be like the average Snow Stalker in size, which is comparable to the very largest polar bears, standing around 10-11 feet (3.05-3.35 meters) on its hind legs.

He appears to be midway between a juvenile and adult Snow Stalker.
