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

It is the ice equivalent of the Magmalice.

Dragon Quest Tact
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 and it can participate in Robbin' 'Ood's Battle Road 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.
