The firn fiend is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series introduced in Dragon Quest III.

It is a glacial Elemental monster 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.
