Firn fiend appears as a B-rank monster of the [[Inorganic family]] as part of the limited ''True Dragon Quest III'' event. It can be scouted from the West Tantegel Sea stage of Searching for a Legend at any difficulty. The firn fiend can participate in [[Robbin' 'Ood]] and the [[Old flame]]'s Battle Roads as a party member. The monster went by its old name '''Iceman''' when it was introduced, but it was changed to Firn fiend in a June 2023 update.
