An ice box is a very heavy container (weighing 900 units) the main use of which is to keep corpses fresh. Corpses in an ice box will not age but will remain fit to eat or sacrifice indefinitely.

Ice boxes are rare, but are occasionally randomly generated in the dungeons and can also appear in delicatessens. When generated, they may contain up to 20 corpses. In Slash'EM, there is a new type of shop, the frozen food store, which contains mainly ice boxes.

Some players bring an ice box containing booze and snacks for the demigod bar when they ascend. Because ice boxes are heavy, this is a challenge.
