-|description=The frostail is the rare result of a magtail adapting to extreme cold, colored white and cyan in sharp contrast to the typical black and orange.  Due to the drastically lower energy available in cold biomes, a frostail must spend almost all its time hibernating in a glacier or whatever icy mass it calls home, only stirring to predate when tremors are senses nearby.  It is unknown if frostails are even capable of growing to any fully mature, {{C|Gohma}}-like stage, but their sparse diet and hibernation suggest they would need much more time to gather the nutrients to grow further.
