Line 123:
** Played straighter in the ''[[Imperial Guard]]'' novel ''Ice Guard'' by Steve Lyons. The planet of Cressida is plunged into an ice age-like state by the Chaos powers that are taking it over.
** Chaos itself is usually subject to this, as warp energy tends to cause a noticeable drop in temperature in the surrounding area of a daemon summoning.
* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]''
** The Nine Hells
** For extra irony, keep in mind: he was a dashing swashbuckler whose pride was his incredible grace of movement.
** Cania is worse that Stygia, so cold that even mortals who use cold-weather gear will freeze to death quickly. Magic usually has to be used to survive in most areas of Cania. Ironically, the palace of Mephistopheles, the ruler, is not one of those places, as he and his servants are avid users of [[Hellfire]], which he claims to have discovered.
** A line in the Book of Erotic Fantasy has a wizard commenting that having sex with a vampire was like having sex with 'ice covered in thick velvet'.
* Played straight with the [[Eldritch Abomination|Neverborn]] in ''[[Exalted]]'', who have a lot of imagery revolving around darkness, death, and the chill of the Void. The Ebon Dragon sometimes gets in on this act, but is more associated with shadows, treachery, opposition, and the [[Shadow Archetype]] than anything else. Averted with [[Light Is Not Good|Ligier]] and anyone associated with him; as the Green Sun that illuminates Malfeas, he burns very hot indeed.
