-Ice nymphs are barely much different from other [[nymph]]s, save for being cold-resistant and having slightly lower base experience - they can still pose a threat to you by stealing vital or dangerous items as usual. This can become especially dire if you are relying on an external source of cold resistance (e.g. [[armor]] or a [[ring of cold resistance|ring]]) to safely traverse the Ice Queen's Realm, or else are charmed into disrobing during a fight with [[Geryon]].

 Theseus felt her voice pulling him down into fathoms of sleep.	The song was the skeleton of his dream, and the dream was full of terror.  Demon girls were after him, and a bull-man was goring him.  Everywhere there was blood.  There was pain.  There was fear.	But his head was in the nymph's lap and her musk was about him, her voice weaving the dream.  He knew then that she had been sent to tell him of something dreadful that was to happen to him later.  Her song was a warning.  But she had brought him a new kind of joy, one that made him see everything differently.  The boy, who was to become a hero, suddenly knew then what most heroes learn later -- and some too late -- that joy blots suffering and that the road to nymphs is beset by monsters.
