Ice Biome - Light

Overview
The Light Ice biome is an expansive, yet empty biome that is often near a Forest or Plains biome. The terrain is very subtle, with only the occasional mineral-filled ice spike or Ice Tree forest. Snowstorms are common and often bring scraps of food from other biomes. Green plants are scarce. Most creatures have adapted not to keep themselves warm but to have lower bodily temperatures.

Competition is not much of a problem since weaker evolutions die out due to the cold. Some migrate to warmer habitats for a short time in order to find food but migrate back after a while.

Location and Climate
This ice biome is near the north and south poles but may sometimes appear in seemingly random spots due to decreased tectonic activity in an area.

True to its name, the Light Ice biome usually has temperatures ranging from -6° to -45° Celsius. Water is frozen solid at all times... even on the insides of some creatures.

Temperature
During colder seasons, ice creatures are more capable and the boundaries of the ice biomes are extended. Fire creatures are weaker. The opposite is true during warmer seasons.

Behavioral
The Day of Calm brings many crystals to the Light Ice biome, needed for lithovores to survive. All are frozen over quickly and the fragile crystals are protected from the harsh winds of the biome. No storms happen.

The Day of Chaos breaks up the old ice and covers it with layers and layers of new snow. Some of the small creatures and maybe a small tree or two are blown out of the biome. After the end of it, most creatures end up digging themselves out of the mounds of snow they’re buried under.

Variants
The Light Ice biome has a darker variant - the Shadow Ice biome.

Forests of Ice Trees can sometimes be found.

An icy variant of the Cave biome is found under older Ice biomes.

Trivia
At its coldest, the Light Ice biome can freeze harmless fire solid.
