Froststalkers are placatable mobs that can be found in Ice Spikes and Frozen Peak biomes.
Behavior[]
Froststalkers are plactable and will usually attack unless the player is wearing a Froststalker Helmet.
They will attack by encircling their target then leaping towards it and swiping with their claws. Froststalkers tend to hunt in packs.
Froststalkers will also attack a handful of mobs but they mostly prefer to hunt Tusklins.
If a Froststalker enters a warm biome then it will be inflicted with Weakness and their spikes will melt off.
Ice Spikes[]
Froststalkers are almost always seen with shards of ice sticking out of their backs.
Froststalkers with these spikes have the ability to freeze Water when they stand on it.
If a Froststalker is injured then it will shake off these ice shards which can deal damage to nearby entities. Unfortunately for the Froststalker, these ice shards will also come off afterwards.
A Froststalker can regain these ice shards if they enter Water.
Helmet Trickery[]
Froststalkers can be pacified by players if they are wearing a Froststalker Helmet.
Pacified Froststalkers will begin to follow the player and will even come to their aid if they get attacked.
Pacified Froststalkers can also be bred.
If a Froststalker is attacked then they will no longer be fooled by this pacification trick.
Breeding[]
Froststalkers can be bred with Raw Porkchops, but only if the breeder is wearing a Froststalker Helmet.
Feeding two Froststalkers some Raw Porkchops causes them to enter love mode and eventually one of the Froststalkers will spawn a baby Froststalker.

| "Hunting amongst the striking frozen shards of the Ice Spikes and Frozen Peaks, the Froststalker is the ultimate pack predator. This beast is hostile to whatever it considers possible prey, but its favorite target is the Tusklin. When hunting, the Froststalker assumes an upright posture and picks up speed, slowly circling its prey in a group before leaping, slashing or biting. In this way, groups of Froststalkers are able to confuse and take down large prey. When injuring by their quarry, the Froststalker can shake off the ice shards on its back, which can deal great amounts of damage. The Froststalkers can regain these spikes by entering Water. Froststalkers also naturally freeze Water beneath their feet, making Water an unsafe battle ground for dealing with these reptiles. If slain, a Froststalker has a chance of dropping its horn. This horn can be used to create a Helmet that tricks Froststalkers into believing the wearer is a fellow Froststalker. Be warned that these beasts will not hesitate to turn on those who wear this helmet, as the slightest infraction against the pack could blow their cover. Froststalkers can only be bred whilst wearing this, with two Porkchops. In warm biomes, Froststalkers will be inflicted with Weakness and their Ice Spikes will melt off." |
