== Loot ==
Every ice snake carries:
* '''Gold:''' about 30–75 in total (from its "Meager" loot)

It may also carry:
* A '''magic weapon, armor piece or shield''' (up to 2 chances, from about 1% down to 0.2% each)
* A '''musical instrument''' (about 0.1% or less)

=== Carving ===
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
* '''1 raw ribs'''

== Location ==
* '''The Deceit brazier''': double-clicking it from within 2 tiles summons one creature picked at random from a list of about 90, and this is one of them. The brazier warns players who step next to it ("Heed this warning well, and use this brazier at your own peril"). It works once every 15 minutes and places the creature within 5 tiles. The summoned creature is set to '''attack the closest target''', even if it would normally leave you alone, and it stays within 5 tiles of the brazier.

== Tips ==
* An easy kill; it has no poison.
* Carve it for 1 raw ribs.
