* Reinforce Zwei of ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]'' specializes in this element, in contrast to her rival, the [[Playing with Fire|fire-using]] Agito. Chrono's [[Magic Wand|Storage Device]], Durandal, is also optimized for ice magic.

* Touya of ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' is a demon ninja with mastery over ice. When he went under [[Old Master|Genkai]] for some [[Training From Hell]], he became powerful enough to freeze an entire battlefield. Seiryuu, one of the [[The Four Gods|Four Saint Beasts]] (and also, ironically, [[The Dragon]] to [[Big Bad]] Suzaku), also had ice powers, but he was a drop in the bucket compared to Touya.

* ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' has numerous variations and examples. Aside from the various deities of cold and winter, there's the Frostwind Virago that's the fey incarnation of the fickle and cruel nature of winter, the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Frost Mage]] prestige class, the Winterhaunt of Iborighu prestige class, which eventually leads to transforming into an unholy abomination of ice and snow, the psionic Cryokineticist prestige class, and more.

** Ice is actually an interesting element in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series. Pokemon with the type are hardly ever used because they have a disproportionate number of elemental weaknesses that are also commonly found. However, Ice-type ''attacks'' are extremely common (especially in competitive circles) since Ice is pretty much the only choice for taking down certain [[Infinity+1 Element|Dragon-typed 'mons.]]

* Python from ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]: Portable Ops'' is a particularly inexplicable example. His powers come from the mastery of liquid nitrogen. [[Justified]], as a Vietnam War wound left him unable to regulate his body's temperature, forcing him to wear a modified combat suit that uses liquid nitrogen to cool himself down.

* The Cryo Legionnaire from [[Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3]] can not only freeze whole groups of ground units [[Harmless Freezing|for capture]] ([[Literally Shattered Lives|or for shatter]]), but they can [[Walking on Water|walk on (solid) water]] by flash-freezing the water beneath them, and even create ice aircrafts from inside a turret.
