"Fear is natural, Danny Phantom. Charging into battle despite the fear, is what makes someone a hero." |
Frostbite is a Yeti-like ghost in charge of the Realm of the Far Frozen. Frostbite and his race, despite their fearsome appearances, are intelligent creatures capable of many things including medicine and technology. They refer to Danny as "Great One" and "The Savior of the Ghost Zone" and treat him like a king due to his defeat of Pariah Dark[1]; Frostbite even introduces himself to Danny as his "humble servant."
History[]
Infinite Realms[]
Frostbite first appeared in "Infinite Realms" when Danny, Sam, and Tucker crash landed the Specter Speeder into his icy domain. At first, Frostbite attacked Danny due, but this was only due to a painful icicle embedded in his fur. Once Danny noticed this and zapped it free, Frostbite's pleasant and formal demeanor returned. Frostbite was honored that his rescuer was none other than Danny Phantom, the "Savior of the Ghost Zone." Frostbite and his people treated Danny as a king. Danny accepted the praise and the help offered by Frostbite. Frostbite described to Danny and his friends that Danny's fame had been spreading all around the Ghost Zone since Danny imprisoned the Ghost King, Pariah Dark. He showed the trio a cave whose walls were covered in carvings of Danny, honoring his triumph over Pariah Dark. To help Danny and his friends leave the Ghost Zone, Frostbite bestowed Danny with the Infi-map. In the conclusion of the episode, Danny returned to the realm of the Far Frozen to discover from Frostbite that the Infi-map doesn't always take users where they want to go, but where the map itself feels they must go. Danny thanked Frostbite again for his help and wisdom. As Danny and his friends left, Frostbite said to another clan member that the "Great One" (meaning Danny) will return and has more in common with the Far Frozen than he realizes.
Urban Jungle[]
In “Urban Jungle,” when Danny came down with a case of unusual chills (a precursor to his yet-unknown ice powers) while fighting Undergrowth, he went to Frostbite for help. Frostbite rescued Danny and treated his injuries. He subsequently trained Danny in the use of his new ice powers while his people watched (because as they live in a frozen wasteland, they take their entertainment where they can get it). When it came time for Danny to leave, Frostbite wished him luck in ridding his world of Undergrowth, although his people were less than enthusiastic about Danny returning if he was unsuccessful (as he froze and nearly injured several of them while working on the "aiming" part of his new powers).
Phantom Planet[]
Somehow, before the events of the episode, Vlad obtained the Infi-map. This implies that Vlad defeated Frostbite and took it from him. Frostbite makes a cameo appearance in “Phantom Planet” as one of the ghosts who helps turn the Earth intangible.
Appearance[]
Frostbite is a burly yeti-like ghost with white fur, grey claws on his right hand and feet, along with a greyish-blue face, yellow eyes with purple pupils, and a pair of fangs protruding upwards from his bottom jaw. A pair of frozen horns lay atop his head, along with a pair of ice pikes on his tail and his entire left arm is purely a skeletal arm covered in ice. freezes his left arm. He wears a gold band on his right bicep, a gold belt adorned with a blue gem that held up a blue loincloth, and a big blue cape around his shoulders held by a gold charm.
Personality[]
Frostbite is a friendly, wise, helpful ghost whose willing to help those who ask with zero recompense. A good teacher, he’s excellent at giving guidance. He shows slight fear over Danny’s lack of control over his ice powers.
Powers[]
- Ghost powers: Since he is a ghost, he has the basic ghost powers of intangibility, invisibility, and flight.
- Cryokinesis: He can fire cold beams from his eyes and freeze blast from his hands and shoot ice spikes from his hands. He is extremely proficient with this power and has been seen to create snowballs or ice crystals out of thin air, and seen to be able to freeze people or ghost solid. His ice powers were even able to freeze Danny's ghost rays.

Trivia[]
- Frostbite and his kind are the only ghosts introduced in the series that respect Danny for defeating Pariah Dark. No other ghosts mention this fact.
- Frostbite and his kind may have possible been one of the ancient ghosts who fought Pariah Dark and hence respect Danny for doing the same.
- Frostbite is possibly based on the character Yoda from the Star Wars series - he speaks in a fashion similar to Yoda and also trains Danny the way Yoda taught Luke Skywalker. This would seem likely, as Butch Hartman is a fan of Star Wars.
- The name "Frostbite" refers to a condition in which skin and the tissue just below the skin freeze after being exposed to prolonged or extreme cold, and most often affects small, exposed body parts, such as fingers and toes. When afflicted with frostbite, the skin gets very cold, then numb, hard, and pale.
