Frostbite A creature that takes cold damage from a sthira's Strikes or aura must attempt a DC 42 Fortitude save. A creature that already has persistent cold damage from frostbite ignores this effect.

Create Sthira (primal, necromancy) When a creature dies while it has persistent cold damage from the sthira's frostbite, the creature rises as a sthira in 24 hours. If the creature is grappled by the sthira when it dies, the dying creature becomes permanently fused with the sthira instead. In this case, the sthira immediately recovers a number of Hit Points equal to the half the dead creature's maximum Hit Points.
