Icy Pincer (Etrian Odyssey IV)[]

Icy Pincer is found in the Sacred Mountains. It moves two steps per player step, patrolling small areas of the land. They respond well to the local vegetables and fauna, and dropping a Happiness Hare will turn them into a rare breed.

Should the player find themselves fighting one, binding their arms will shut them down, as with most other monsters of their kind.

Skills[]

Frigid Scythe (Uses Arms): Ice attack to a party member, may instantly kill.
Overhand Swing (Uses Arms): Strong cut attack to a party member.
Scythe Dance (Uses Arms): 2-5 random ice attacks across the entire party.
Blinding Blade (Uses Arms): Cut attack to 1 line, may blind.

Drops[]

Ice Claws (Etrian Odyssey Untold)[]

Ice Claws are FOEs found in Lost Shinjuku. They normally reside over the Chop points on the floors, but if the player gets within 3 squares of them they turn aggressive and pursue the player, moving up to 3 squares per player step. If they lose sight of the player, they return to the nearest Chop point, regardless of whether the player has already harvested from it or not.

When an Ice Claw stands over a Chop point, whatever materials that could be gathered are converted into Severed Plant, a worthless item. On incredibly rare occasions, the player can harvest a Glacier Ootheca from a ruined Chop point which sells for an incredible amount of money - in fact, one quest requires the player to collect one of these.

In-battle, the Ice Claws always starts with Frozen Fury, which hits multiple random targets but is prone to missing. Every 4 turns it can threaten to instantly kill someone with Frozen Scythe. At all other times, it attacks with Blind Blade and follows up with Frozen Fury if anyone does get blinded.
