		+	An '''ice vortex''', {{monsym\|ice vortex}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in ''[[NetHack]]''. The ice vortex is a type of [[vortex]] with an affinity to [[cold]] and is one of two vortices that are not [[unsolid]], though they share all of the same characteristics as any other vortex.

		+	An ice vortex has an engulfing attack that deals cold damage, which is replaced with a "claw" attack that deals cold damage and can destroy [[potion]]s in the target's inventory if the attack hits during the grace period where a recently-expelled [[hero]] cannot be re-engulfed.{{refsrc\|src/mhitu.c\|319\|nethack=3.6.7}} Dust vortices possess [[cold resistance]], [[sleep resistance]], [[poison resistance]], and [[stoning resistance]].
		+
		+	==Generation==
		+	Randomly generated ice vortices are always created hostile, and will not be generated in [[Gehennom]].
		+
		+	Ice vortices [[Corpseless\|do not leave a corpse]] upon death.
		+
		+	==Description==
		+	Ice vortices can be troublesome for early heroes: they move at the same high [[speed]] of 20 as the dust vortex, and their attacks inflict cold damage that can jeopardize potions in the open inventory. Fortunately, the damage dealt is generally survivable for a hero that has decent AC and/or a means to deal damage quickly, especially with guaranteed hits from being engulfed—a hero with cold resistance such as a [[Valkyrie]] is completely immune to an ice vortex's attacks and can easily handle them.
		+
		+	==History==
		+	The ice vortex first appears in [[NetHack 3.0.0]].
		+

		+
		+	==Variants==
		+	===dNetHack===
		+	In [[dNetHack]], the ice vortex and almost all other vortices (except for the [[yochlol]]'s stinking cloud form) take halved damage from blunt, piercing and slashing weapons.
		+
		+	[[Invoking]] [[dNetHack artifacts#Ehecailacocozcatl\|Ehecailacocozcatl]] can summon a tame ice vortex.
		+
		+	===SpliceHack===
		+	In [[SpliceHack]], two hostile ice vortices are generated on the [[Plane of Ice]] at level creation.
		+
		+	Zapping a [[wand of water]] while engulfed by an ice vortex will result in an [[instadeath]] from the water turning the hero into a block of ice.
		+
		+	===notdNetHack===
		+	In [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]], in addition to dNetHack details, ice vortices can often be encountered in the [[Ice Caves]] [[adventure branch]].
		+
		+	===SlashTHEM===
		+	In [[SlashTHEM]], invoking [[The Storm Whistle]] has a {{frac\|3\|4}} chance of generating a tame ice vortex.
		+
		+	===Hack'EM===
		+	In [[Hack'EM]], invoking The Storm Whistle has a {{frac\|10}} chance of generating a tame ice vortex.
		+
		+	Zapping a wand of water while engulfed by an ice vortex causes the hero to take 6d6 damage and be immediately expelled from the vortex.
