Denizen of the Clockpunk Wizard world.
A non-sentient magical creature composed of strong, negative emotions encased in ambulatory frozen water. An ice devil stands almost four feet tall, and bristles with icicles. The creature has a head, but no eyes. Ice devils immobilize their prey with a spell that numbs the limbs, and then stabs with the icicles. They feed on the victim’s blood and magic.
Personages: Ice Devil pack in the Wager Island highlands in Old Bony Blue Eyes
