The Firn Fiend is a boss in Dragon Quest Builders. He is resistant to all attacks, even with the Aurora blade, and is only weak against the Bashmobile.
The Firn Fiend has 2 eyes, a head made of ice and a gigantic ice hand. The hand is not part of the monster itself, though, but is a non-conscious entity controlled by the monster. Hitting the hand with the Bashmobile does not harm the monster. Hitting it's face deals 500-525 damage to the monster, defeating it. It can control ice in very special ways and transform it to elemental monsters, such as Frostburns.
The hand is used to hurl ice balls at its enemies, or to bash them and knock them back giving it time to prepare another attack.
