'''Ice Pikmin''' are a type of Pikmin found in {{P4}}. Their most defining characteristics are their cyan, blocky bodies, seemingly made of ice chunks, their complete immunity to all types of [[ice|freezing]], and their ability to freeze enemies and bodies of water solid. However, they have noticeably lower attack power in battle and additionally [[Fire|burn]] to death faster when lit aflame by enemies or [[hazard]]s, lasting roughly 4 seconds instead of 6. They leave small snow and water vapor particles around them as they move, and their [[maturity|buds and flowers]] are yellow.

When attacking enemies, or when eaten by them, Ice Pikmin will progressively [[freeze]] them, as represented by a ring-shaped gauge around the enemy's [[health wheel]]. Once the gauge is full, the enemy freezes entirely and can no longer act, though they do take reduced damage while frozen. Defeating a frozen enemy will make it shatter into chunks of ice without leaving a corpse, instead producing drops of [[nectar]] or [[ultra-spicy spray]]. Enemies that are frozen in midair will fall to the floor and shatter immediately. If not defeated after 6 seconds, a frozen enemy will begin shaking and eventually break out of the ice, knocking any attached Pikmin to the ground. This freezing ability is highly similar to the [[ultra-bitter spray]] in ''Pikmin 2'', though involving ice instead of stone, and not being instantaneous or able to hit multiple targets at once.
