'''Cold blooded''' creatures are sometimes [[slow]]ed when hit by some [[cold]]-based attacks. This effect has a 50% chance of happening only with the following attacks: melee attack with a weapon of [[freezing]] or casting the [[Ozocubu's Refrigeration]] or [[Freeze]] spells. They are also more susceptible to the effect of [[Metabolic Englaciation]] (the duration is doubled).

Version 0.21: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Creatures with the cold blooded blood temperature are unique only in that they are particularly vulnerable to certain cold attacks. They have a 50% chance of being slowed when they are damaged by any of the following cold sources:

They are also more strongly affected by Metabolic Englaciation, remaining slowed for twice as long.

Notably Hydras are cold-blooded monster. As a melee character, if you don't have a slicing flaming weapon to deal with them, another good strategy is using a non-slicing cold weapon to slow them.

For the late game, Draconians which are populating the Realm of Zot are also cold-blooded. This can mean that the freezing brand is sometimes preferable to the flaming brand later on.
