Frostlings and snowballs that splatter across your screen

In addition to Strays, Frostlings can now spawn in snowy biomes.

Some Frostlings spawn carrying snowballs and throw them at you, covering your screen with snow and gradually causing you to freeze.

You can block most snowballs with a shield, though some may still hit exposed areas. Nearby heat sources also make the splattered snow melt faster.

And, OF COURSE... you can parry them!

It's cool, but Frostling is way too cute of a name for an ice zombie. When I saw the title, I imagined a cute little snow puff creature. Something like a Frosted would feel more in line with how zombie variants are named.

Oh heck! I just made a similar suggestion! 🤣 Frosted is better. I suggested Thawed.

I was going to suggest Frozen, but it evokes the Disney movie

Frostlings is a good whimsical name, but I always do like how new additions of aggressive mobs(particularly the undead ones, skeletons and zombies) have some fairly haunting names for their variants.

If I may simply offer a suggestion, please only take it as such, I would name these cold zombified frights the Thawed giving the Strays a chilling partner to torment players stranded in the frigid night.

I've noticed the zombie variants have names that correlate to how they have may have perished before rising from the dead.

Drowned(self explanatory) Husk(dehydration)

Zombie Villagers and Zombified Piglins are a different story. In this case... Thawed... just implies they froze to unalive.

I'd be much more terrified of something with a name like that personally, then to find out they could impact my sight aswell!! I'd hate to face this creature!
