'''Freezing fog''' (also known as '''Frost cloud''' or '''Ice cloud''') are recurring enemies in the ''Dragon Quest'' series.
'''Freezing fogs''' are recurring {{MFamilies}}s in the {{DQSeries}}, first appearing in {{III}}.
{{stub}}
 
They are ice-elemental variants of the [[cumaulus]].
 
==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.

==Etymology==
*English: [[Wikipedia:Fog_#Freezing_conditions|Freezing fog]] is the name of a meteorological phenomenon that occurs when liquid fog droplets freeze to surfaces, forming rime. It is common on mountaintops that are exposed to low clouds.
*Japanese: As with [[Cumaulus]] and [[Hell niño]], Frost Gizmo is derived from ''Gaseous Lifeform Gizmo'' (ガス状生物ギズモ), a science-fiction story originally known as ''War with the Gizmos'', written by American writer [[Wikipedia:Murray Leinster|Murray Leinster]]. It was published in Japan in 1969.
