A {{name}} is a creature belonging to the [[unshelled reptiles]] faction, possessing {{favilink id|Rimewyk_Bite}} and a very potent {{favilink|Freeze Breath}}. It is commonly found in {{favilink|Bethesda Susa}}, where its freezing capabilities combined with the cold atmosphere usually lead to creatures being frozen for several turns.

A rimewyk's {{favilink id|Rimewyk_Bite}} can be lethal despite its low physical damage, as it deals a high amount of cold damage on hit, ignoring [[AV]]. This can make its attacks more dangerous to creatures with low [[cold resistance]], particularly those already vulnerable to attack from being frozen.

* You can escape being frozen by drinking heating liquids, such as {{favilink|asphalt}} or {{favilink|molten wax}}, detonating a {{favilink|thermal grenade}} from your inventory, or using {{favilink|pyrokinesis}} on yourself; none of these actions are restricted while frozen. It is possible but not preferred to escape freezing by using a {{favilink|blaze injector}} as the {{Color|R|-50}} cold resist penalty will make the rimewyk's subsequent attacks more lethal.

* Having enough [[unshelled reptiles]] reputation lets you avoid fighting a rimewyk entirely. Due to its neutral demeanor, an indifferent or higher faction status is enough for this. {{favilink|Croccasins}} and items with the [[scaled]] mod are easy ways of doing this.

* High enough levels of cold resist can let you easily endure the rimewyk's breath and attacks. Some possible early-mid game sources include items made of ape fur ({{favilink|ape fur gloves|gloves}}, {{favilink|ape fur hat|hats}}, {{favilink|ape fur cloak|cloaks}}), the [[wooly]] item mod, an {{favilink|elastyne skull cap}}, or mutations such as {{favilink|carapace}} and {{favilink|thick fur}}. {{favilink|Freezing ray}} will also drastically lower the player's freezing temperature, though it will not reduce cold damage itself.

* Lacking any of these options, an encounter with a rimewyk can very easily be deadly to the player. Consider using means available for avoiding it instead, such as {{favilink|Teleportation}}, {{favilink|Phasing}} or simply leaving the area before you're frozen.
