“	“The intense frost that engulfs the bodies of these bat-like keese makes them more dangerous than the standard type. They're capable of freezing anything they touch.”
	— Hyrule Compendium, Breath of the Wild

The body of this keese is eternally sparkling with white mist and sparkling snowflakes. Although less common than fire keese, this elemental form is even more dangerous as it can freeze a person solid with sheer magical cold.
     They are most often found in arctic regions, inside icy caverns, or near the peaks of snow-capped mountains.
     Environment: Caves, Grassland, Hills, Ruins, Volcanic
