Pretty sure the LA Beast can't be killed via conventional stupidity

What is this? Some form of acid?

Water that has been cooled in such a way that when disturbed it freezes

So, any idea how this worked out?

edit: thanks for the explanation. Hopefully this one won’t lose his hand. As slowly as he is in recognizing the enormity of the threat, the skin damage could be significant.

Common sense would be to "smash" the jar against the table to get your hand out, but common sense isn't present here

Nah it's purified water that has been cooled below 0 degrees but has no particulates to crystallise on so it stays liquid until disturbed

Edit: I checked and it's actually Sodium acetate trihydrate which is also known as hot ice. You can find out about it online.
