Iceworm Queen

Overview

The Iceworm Queen is a large carnivore with a unique vulnerability to certain damage types. It can be bred and deals significant damage to structures. This creature is primarily encountered in boss or event scenarios, where its aggressive behavior and high health pool make it a challenging opponent. It does not serve as a taming or transportation target due to its non-tamable status.
