Iceworm Queen
Ignore
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.

Damage Resistances
The Iceworm Queen has a strong weakness to SpikeWall damage, taking +400% more damage. It is also highly vulnerable to Instant HurtDinos and Melee DmgMetal RaidDino attacks. Conversely, it is fully immune to MiningDrill Harvest damage and takes 50% less damage from Melee WithProjectileImpactFX and Ranged Turret Small DefensePlant sources.
