Notes

Both attacks do an equal base amount of physical and ice damage. Attack rate is about (53.2% ± 3.1%).
The howl message stuns opponent for one round (the round in which it was seen). Block rate is about (20.6% ± 2.5%).
Can have both an howl and an attack at the same round.

Gnoph-keh are a fictional species of non-humans in the Cthulhu Mythos. They have an affinity for cold, ice and snow, and artwork portrays them as similar to very large six-legged polar bears, with a narwhal-like horn.
The first attack message is a reference to the character of Count von Count on the children's show Sesame Street (the Count's catch phrase is to count objects and then say, "ah, ah, ah!").
The second attack message is, of course, an obvious reference to Ryme.
