The Firn fiend is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series introduced in Dragon Quest III. It is a glacial Elementalmonster 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 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.
