You have resistance to cold damage, and are naturally adapted to extreme
cold (down to an ambient temperature of –30º).
Thanks to their clawed toes they can move across and climb icy surfaces without needing to make an ability check. Additionally, Difficult Terrain composed of ice or snow doesn't cost it extra moment.

and are capable of leaping high into the air.
You have a swim speed of 40 feet.
You can also hold your breath for up to 1 hour.
You can also perform high jumps and long jumps from the surface of water as if it were a solid surface by “swimming” up from below (essentially breaching in a similar manner to dolphins or whales).

You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC.
