The Ice Monsters dwell in a remote, lesser-known region of the Monster planet. Isolated and rarely seen, they remain a mystery to much of the galaxy. Like their Lava counterparts, they’re built to endure brutal extremes in their case, glacial cold and frozen terrain.
Their leader, Sir Nicholai, governs with unwavering resolve, guiding them through the silence and frost. Despite their quiet existence, the Ice Monsters are far from passive. They are a resilient and powerful people, shaped by ice and survival.
The Ice Monsters are a hardy colony that thrives near the planet’s surface, unlike their Lava counterparts who reside deep within its core. The climate of their territory is unforgiving, with blizzards and destructive winds constantly challenging their survival. In this harsh environment, the colony is built on the principle of survival of the fittest, where only the strong endure.
Unlike the more developed Lava Monsters and other colonies, the Ice Monsters have struggled to evolve socially and technologically. They are far more feral and animalistic, with a deeper connection to their Monstrous forms. Their society was initially shaped by anarchy, with rigid social roles separating Prey from Hunters. Both groups had their own unique talents and while this division initially served to organize their packs, it also fueled discrimination. Without a central authority, the prejudice between Prey and Hunters grew unchecked, with some arguing that the Prey were inferior to the Hunters.
This imbalance was challenged by a young Ice Monster, a small fox named Nicholai, who refused to accept this division. Nicholai, with wisdom beyond his years, reminded his people that both Hunters and Prey had vital roles to play and neither was superior to the other. This act of unification helped bridge the gap between the two groups and laid the foundation for a more balanced society. Eventually, Nicholai rose to power, becoming the respected leader of the Ice Monsters, bringing order and equality to their once fractured community.
A popular game among Ice Monsters, especially loved by children, Hunter and Prey is a fun twist on tag, typically played outdoors. In this game, one player takes on the role of the Hunter while the others become the Prey. The Prey are given a head start to run or hide and the goal is for the Hunter to catch them, usually by pinning them down. If a Prey player manages to overpower the Hunter however, they earn the title of the new Hunter and the game continues. It's a lighthearted and playful game, symbolizing the balance between strength and agility, often bringing joy to younger Ice Monsters.
