The '''firn fiend''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}} introduced in {{Dragon Quest III}}.

It is a glacial {{Elemental}} {{MFamilies}} that rises out of the permafrost and crawls along the surface with one hand extended out, glaring through blizzards with piercing, yellow eyes. It is the ice equivalent of the [[magmalice]].

Firn fiend appears as a B-rank {{MFamilies}} of the [[Material family|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 {{MFamilies}} went by its old name '''Iceman''' when it was introduced, but it was changed to Firn fiend in a June 2023 update.
