Frostbite and his Frozen Arm



Character designer Ben Balistreri created this yeti character named Frostbite for the popular Nickelodeon cartoon "Danny Phantom".

Ben explains:

"The script had him described as an abominable snowman/wampa type creature. I tried to think of something to distance him a bit from every other snow creature we've seen so I came up with the frozen arm. I don't know if it makes much sense, but I thought it looked cool. (no pun intended!)"

According to Wikipedia:

"Frostbite is a yeti-like ghost in charge of the Realm of the Far Frozen. Frostbite and his race (known as the Far Frozen), despite their fearsome appearances, are intelligent creatures capable of many things--including medicine and technology. They refer to Danny as the 'Great One' or the 'Savior of the Ghost Zone"', and treat him like a king (Frostbite introduces himself as Danny's "humble servant"), due to his defeat of Pariah Dark in the episode 'Reign Storm'."

For Danny Phantom fans, here are 2 exciting pieces of trivia:

1. Frostbite helps Danny develop his ice ghost powers!
2. Frostbite is the one that gave Danny the Infi-map!

Despite the fact that Frostbite is an ally, you can actually play as Danny trying to defeat him in hand-to-hand combat if you select the "Scary" option in this online game.
