Moder is the fourth boss. She appears as a massive frost dragon with black scales, a white fur mane and tattered wings. According to numerous Runestones, she is the mother of all Drakes.
Summoning[]
Moder's Forsaken Altar.
Moder's Forsaken Altar is located in the Mountains. Her location can be found when visiting specific ruined structures, typically at the top, where a Vegvisir will reveal her nearest summoning location on the map.
She is summoned by placing three 
Dragon eggs in her Forsaken Altar in the Mountains. Like all bosses, Moder can be summoned as many times as desired, provided the required materials are met.
Considering the extensive weight of dragon eggs (200), purchasing and wearing a Megingjord from Haldor will help, as it increases one's carry weight by 150.
Attacks and abilities[]
Moder has the ability to fly but will also choose to land, alternating between the two. She is accompanied by an environmental aura that forces Freezing Effect even in other biomes.
Bite[]
While grounded, she can bite to deal 120 Pierce, 1000 Tier 3 Chop and 1000 Tier 3 Pickaxe damage. This attack has a 30-second cooldown and can only be used when a player is within 7 meters. This hits in an 8-meter 20-degree horizontal arc.
Claw[]
While grounded, Moder can perform a swipe attack with either claw which deals 110 Slash, 1000 Tier 3 Chop and 1000 Tier 3 Pickaxe damage. This ability is on a 30-second cooldown for each claw, and she must be within 10 meters of a player to use it. The claws hit in a horizontal arc 12 meters in length and 50 degrees in angle.
Spit shotgun[]
When airborne, every 8 seconds she can fire a barrage of 16 icicles - each projectile travels at 25 meters per second and spreads within 13–20 degrees from the center of her aim dealing 30 Pierce, 200 Frost, 200 Tier 3 Chop and 200 Tier 3 Pickaxe damage. Upon impact with the ground, a crystal forms about as tall as the player and will fall apart 30 seconds later. Each crystal has 10 health and can be destroyed. This attack can be used when a player is within 5–25 meters.
Cold breath[]
While grounded, she can let forth an icy beam in a 30-meter line which arcs very slightly by 10 degrees. It deals up to 200 Frost, 200 Tier 3 Chop and 200 Tier 3 Pickaxe damage and can be used every 8 seconds. She attempts to track the player while using this attack. This ability can be used when a player is within 5–20 meters; this distance is measured from the center of her hitbox, which happens to be roughly 5 meters from her head making it difficult - but still possible - to disable the attack by standing close.
