The '''Icikiller''' is a monster in the series.

==Characteristics==
Icikillers are muscular [[Humanoid family|humanoid]] monsters with icy blue skin that wield a sharp claw in each hand. They wear blue bodysuits, as well as kilts, armbands, and boots made of purple cloth, and darker blue metallic masks. They have a long mane of shaggy light hair poking out underneath their masks. Unlike their other claw-wielding cousins, the icikillers specialise in casting support magic in battle rather than their signature corkscrew attack. Their association with ice is limited to being completely immune to both ice-elemental attacks and spells due to their habitats. Their name is a combination of the words "icicle" and "killer".
