Category	Endemic Life
Obtainable Guild pts	5 pts
Obtainable Mats by Capturing	Frostburst
Feature	Beetles that gather up snow. Their snowballs can be used as Frostburst Ammo. Due to their ecology, Icebeetles are limited to cold habitats and are more tolerant of cold than other insects. No one knows why they roll their snowballs back to their nests. Some theorize it's to grow the organic matter they feed on, while others think it could be related to reproductive behavior.

You Can Get Frostburst

You can obtain Frostburst from a Rime Beetle. Frostburst is a Slinger ammo that deals damage when it hits a monster.

Required to Complete Side Missions

Capturing a Rime Beetle is a requirement to complete the Samin's Research Report (Cont.) side mission. You must capture it while the mission is active, and the mission cannot be completed by capturing it beforehand.
