ICE GREEM - TIMELINE #6249711
Added 2025-06-24 13:39:02 +0000 UTC(Timeline Tuesday #204)
Ice greems are small, strange creatures from a distant timeline where huge swathes of natural evolution directed various species towards the features we commonly associate with frozen treats. This particular species appears nearly identical to traditional ice cream cones, with a jelly-like body that comes in a variety of colors, although white, brown and pink are the most common. Their beaklike heads are long and feature a hatch pattern, similar in appearance to a waffle cone. They have two eyes and a pair of nostrils at the tip of their long mouth.
Ice greems are predatory, making prey of the same small animals that large birds might enjoy hunting. They stalk and consume small mammals, reptiles and amphibians, and do so by diving out of the sky to surprise their targets.
The movement of ice greems is strange and uncanny to witness, but it is also quite fascinating once you understand the mechanics. These creatures have the ability to control the temperature around them in an eight-foot sphere, and they use this power to lift themselves on pockets of blazing hot air. They can also, however, use their abilities to create frigid blasts of ice and stun their prey, at which point they can easily catch a target.
Ice greems are immune to any temperature shifts around them, capable of withstanding extreme fluctuations that might otherwise melt steel or freeze most biological matter from our timeline. This makes them difficult for sport hunters to catch, although many have tried. Those who manage to capture and eat ice greems claim that they do, in fact, taste like ice cream.
