Ice Beetles are burrowing insects with an ice-reinforced carapace, and they have an aversion to heat of any kind. This member of the Beetle family has adapted to life in the subzero temperatures in the Phendrana Drifts, growing a thick ice shell over its entire body. The ice is extremely resilient, providing the Ice Beetle with extra protection and augmented digging abilities.
Despite what your logbook information tells you, the Ice Beetles are barely a threat, but slightly smarter and faster than normal Beetles. Just lock on, shoot with a non-ice-based beam, and they will be quickly destroyed.
If you use the ultra-hot Plasma Beam on them, they will be burned alive, resulting in their own custom death animation.
