Henry controls an All Terrain Vehicle specializing in crossing a multitude of wild environments, especially the more snowy type that we can expect to encounter in ICEBOUND. Affectionally called "The Beast" by its owner, clearly referring to its enormous size and intimidating appearance, is still indeed a beast when crossing the icy ravines and forested mountains of the northern Appalachians. Connected to the tractor, which serves as Henry's de facto living space, is the cargo section of the vehicle. This section provides ample space to help Henry deliver supplies to those in need and to store what he might need on his journey.

The ATV offers some limited amphibious abilities, with which will aid us in crossing treacherous, ice-covered swamps ribboned with narrow, post-glacial lakes, dark coniferous forests, as well as rocky passes of low and medium mountains.

The Beast won't have an easy task ahead of it, and it has most certainly seen better days. Henry will be the only person around to perform even the most basic maintenance, such as replacing broken tracks and worn, under-performing engine components. Repairing mechanical damage to the body, chassis and electrical subsystems will prove to be a constant problem, interferring in our mission. It's a good thing we'll have the opportunity to visit the occasional abandoned mechanic shops and to scavenge certain encountered vehicles.

To perform repairs Henry needs to be in a good shape himself. The biting cold certainly won't make things easier and keeping the engine running, and thus heating, will make the difference between keeping your only friend - The Beast - in a working condition and protecting you from both the cold and the fauna, and making a mad dash to the closest place of opportunity. Remember, that should you choose to get there on foot, you might encounter not just wolves...
