Conversion Notes: The Characteristics, Powers and Skills here represent the minimum found in an algor, but they are often much higher. This write-up uses Champions 5th edition rules. The Characteristics cost for the SPD takes into account the bonus from the DEX.
The algor are a race of large and long lived humanoids who stand at least 14 feet tall, often larger. Most have a dislike for elves, dwarves, and to a lesser, degree humans. Algor are immune to any cold effects and can exhale a damaging cloud of frost. They can see the dark. They are commonly allies with wolfen, trolls, jotan and cyclops.
Algor can become almost any occupation and can learn magic or gain psionic abilities.
To learn more about the algor, I suggest purchasing and reading the Rifts Conversion Book by Kevin Siembieda.
