Brinicles are hazardous ice formations found descending from the undersides of icebergs in the East Arctic and Sparse Arctic. They cause freeze damage to the player and freeze fish that touch it in a similar standard to the Brinewing. Unlike the Brinewing, Brinicles can freeze larger fauna such as Pengwings or a Cryptosuchus.
They spawn naturally and will start to grow to their max size in which they will stay in their position for a while before shattering.
Any creature caught by it will remain frozen until the brinicle shatters.
By using a knife, the player can shatter brinicles, which can free other creatures trapped inside.
