'''Freezing fogs''' are recurring {{MFamilies}}s in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{III}}.
The '''Freezing fog''' is a monster in the series.
 
They are ice-elemental variants of the [[cumaulus]].


==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
The floating, fun-sucking freezing fog rains crushing '''[[Chilly Breath]]''' down on the battlefield, followed by engulfing foes in its icy embrace. Occasionally they'll keep their cool by just breathing a far less deadly '''[[Cool Breath]]'''. The cold [[Elemental family|clouds]] are colored in various shades of blue to set them apart from their gaseous cousins.
Freezing fogs are anthropomorphic ice [[Elemental family|clouds]] with cartoonish faces, coloured in various shades of blue. In some games, they are dark blue like storm clouds and have yellow eyes. It floats over the battlefield and attacks by breathing out icy breath of varying intensity. Their description in various games state that freezing fogs attack travelers at the peaks of snowy mountains, leaving them frozen solid. The [[Wikipedia:Fog_#Freezing_conditions|Freezing fog]]'s English name is a type of meteorological phenomenon that occurs when liquid fog droplets freeze to surfaces, forming rime. It is common on mountaintops that are exposed to low clouds. Its Japanese name, {{translation|Frost Gizmo|フロストギズモ|Furosto gizumo}} is derived from {{translation|''Gaseous Lifeform Gizmo''|ガス状生物ギズモ|Gasu-jō seibutsu gizumo}}, a science-fiction story originally known as ''War with the Gizmos'', written by American writer [[Wikipedia:Murray Leinster|Murray Leinster]], which was published in Japan in 1969.
