-The '''crystal ice golem''' is a [[golem]] added in [[UnNetHack]]. This powerful creature is only randomly generated within the icy confines of [[Sheol]], along with the somewhat less dangerous [[ice golem]]. They can't be tamed.
+Crystal ice golems have a powerful [[weapon]] attack and a powerful [[Random breath|randomized breath]] weapon, and possess [[cold resistance]], [[shock resistance]], [[sleep resistance]], [[poison resistance]], [[disintegration resistance]], [[magic resistance]], and [[death resistance]].
-The crystal ice golem shares some similarities with the [[crystal golem]] in [[SLASH'EM]], as both have powerful melee attacks combined with random breath attacks. The crystal ice golem is slightly weaker than the SLASH'EM golem, presumably because it is made of ice rather than rock crystal: its base level is slightly lower (28, compared to 32), its [[magic resistance (monster)|MR]] is half that of the crystal golem, and it lacks [[fire resistance]]. However, its attacks are more powerful and it resists [[disintegration]].
+Crystal ice golems are [[poisonous]] to consume, which primarily comes up if they are [[digested]] by another monster.
-Unlike the crystal golem, the crystal ice golem does not [[death drop]] [[gems]]&mdash;or ice, for that matter.
+==Generation==
-{{todo|Some of the stats for the crystal ice and regular ice golems seem reversed; e.g. the crystal ice golem has half the MR of the regular ice golem, and a higher frequency. Is this a mistake in the source code?}}
+Several crystal ice golems are generated on floors within Sheol at level creation:

+Crystal ice golems are much stronger ''and'' more common than standard ice golems, and their randomized breath can spell serious trouble for a hero without a stellar kit in general and a source of [[reflection]] in particular.
