Ecological Niche
Frostbite Dodogama is at the bottom of the food chain and is prey for many monsters, such as Barioth, Deviljho, and Legiana.

Biological Adaptations
Frostbite Dodogama's diet has changed from rocks to plants, which means that it has to leave the safety of the caves it resides and go into the snowy mountainous regions of the Hinterlands. Their hide is much harder than that of regular Dodogama. Frostbite Dodogama's saliva is extremely cold and, as such, combined with the ice chunks it stores in its mouth, can cause hypothermia.

Attacks
Frostbite Dodogama retains every attack the original Dodogama has. However, any attack that involves spitting flaming rocks is now replaced with ice chunks. If hit by these ice chunks, the hunter will be afflicted with Iceblight. Any attack involving Blastblight now causes Iceblight.
 * Rapid Fire: Frostbite Dodogama will quickly spit five chunks of ice towards the hunter. Causes Iceblight.
 * Frosty Roll: Frostbite Dodogama will roll forwards toward the hunter.
 * Frosty Crush: Frostbite Dodogama will rear up and attempt to crush the hunter under its weight.
 * Glacial Eruption: Frostbite Dodogama rears up and starts spitting large amounts of ice chunks upwards. These rocks will land around Frostbite Dodogama randomly. Causes Iceblight.
