The '''Icikiller''' is a recurring monster in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{Dragon Quest VIII}}. It is a claw-wielding monster that makes its home in ice-cold regions.

==Characteristics==
Icikillers are muscular [[Humanoid family|humanoid]] monsters with icy blue skin that wield a sharp claw in each hand. They wear kilts, armbands, and boots made of purple cloth, darker blue metallic masks, and a short cape of shaggy white fur around their necks. Unlike their other claw-wielding cousins, the icikillers specialise in casting support magic in battle rather than their signature corkscrew attack. Their association with ice is limited to being completely immune to both ice-elemental attacks and spells due to their habitats.

==Trivia==
The choice of name is a pun on the word "icicle", and exemplifies the enemy's resistance to frigid temperatures.
