The '''ancient of ice''' is a slow but powerful [[demon]] in [[dNetHack]].

In addition to a high-damage weapon attack, it uses cold-themed [[monster spell]]s and a [[gaze attack]] that deals [[cold]] damage. When destroyed it explodes in a freezing blast.

 Ancients of ice breathe in heat and breathe out cold. If a non-fire-resistant target is within 4 squares of an ancient of ice, the ancient will suck some heat out of it, dealing level/3 d8 damage (i.e., between 5d8 and 10d8). After inhaling heat, if one or more non-cold-resistant targets are within 8 squares and lined up with the ancient, it will exhale a blast of cold breath towards a chosen target. Hostile ancients will target the player character with high priority, unless the character is immune to cold. If the character is not a valid target, the ancient will choose the closest valid target instead.

 At most 8 ancients of ice will appear per game.
