A Frost Blob only appears where a Viking has thrown one. It is a fist of frozen ooze that bursts out of a Blob Bomb: Frost and immediately turns on whoever threw it. Think of it less as a creature you hunt and more as a grenade with legs: a way to put a guaranteed Crystal drop anywhere from the Meadows to the Ashlands, and mostly a danger to careless throwers.

Behaviour

A Frost Blob behaves like its Swamp cousins. It heaves itself along rather than walking, slowly and with little regard for terrain, and it heads straight for the nearest player from the moment it forms. Its one attack is a pulse of frost that goes off in a short radius when something gets close enough. At a hundred damage, that pulse hits far harder than its fifty health would suggest. Standing still will not shake it off, because it just keeps coming, but almost anyone can outwalk it, and it never gives up or flees at low health. It only attacks up close, makes no noise that draws other creatures in, and never sleeps, since it only exists until something kills it. It belongs to the Mountain faction. That only means it will not pick fights with Wolves, Drakes or other Mountain creatures, so lobbing one into a pack just adds one more enemy for you to fight.

Where to Find It

You will not find a Frost Blob waiting anywhere on the map. It has no natural spawn in any biome, no star variants and no spawn point in any structure, so where it lives depends entirely on where you are standing when you throw. You craft the bomb at a Workbench from a Corked Vial, three Resin and a Drake Trophy. The vial has to be bought from the Bog Witch for coin, so this is a late addition to a world rather than something an early player stumbles on. That crafting chain also means every Frost Blob in existence is one somebody paid for, which is worth remembering before you scatter a handful of bombs into a fight you were already winning. Because it is hostile to you and not to the creatures it lands among, the biome you throw it in changes nothing about how it behaves.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Kill it with a mace. Blunt damage tears straight through it, and so do fire and lightning; against fifty health, any of the three ends it in a hit or two. Stabbing and slash attacks are the wrong instinct, since edged weapons land at half value, and anything frost-based is close to pointless. The only real danger is the pulse, which cares less about your armour tier than you would like, so either strike from outside its radius or hit hard enough that it never gets to fire at all. A torch, a bow with Fire Arrows or one swing of a club all clear it easily at any stage of the game where you can afford the bomb in the first place. Since you are the one summoning it, placement is the best tactic: throw it well away from yourself, let it form, and shoot it down before it has closed half the distance.

It takes extra damage from Blunt, Fire and Lightning.
It resists Slash and Pierce.
It is barely hurt by Frost.
It ignores Poison, Chop and Pickaxe.

Drops

A guaranteed Crystal from a fifty health target is the whole point, which makes the bomb a portable substitute for hunting Drakes in the Mountain.
