The Ice Golem is a monster from Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, the Fiend of Water, and one of the Vile Four. It hides on the top floor of the Ice Pyramid, but creates a decoy of itself that appears in the basement. The decoy disappears when Benjamin and Phoebe approach it, and they must climb a stairway to reach the real Ice Golem. After it is defeated, the Crystal of Water reverts to normal and Aquaria thaws out. The Ice Golem is later reincarnated as the Stone Golem in Doom Castle.
The Ice Golem's attacks are largely physical, including a powerful Ice Block and a Snowstorm that hits both characters and also heals the Golem. It has four phases, depending on how much HP it has left. The first phase has it kneeling. After losing a quarter of its health, it starts melting, which expedites the more health it loses.

Etymology[]
In Jewish and medieval folklore, a golem is an animated anthropomorphic being, magically created from inanimate matter. The word was used to mean an amorphous, unformed material (usually out of stone and clay) in Psalms and medieval writing. Adam, the first man created by God in the Holy Bible, was a golem since he was created from dust and sand. Having a golem servant was seen as the ultimate symbol of wisdom and holiness, with stories of prominent Rabbis owning golems throughout the middle ages. In modern times, the word golem, sometimes pronounced goilem in Yiddish, has come to mean one who is slow, clumsy, and generally dimwitted.
