Version 0.33: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

You are covered in ice, and your movement speed is reduced.

Frozen (encased in ice) is a status effect that increases movement delay; it does not impact any other type of action. Players take 50% more time to move, while monsters take 100% more time to move. The duration of the effect is 3-5 turns. This status is not impacted by cold resistance.

Frozen can be inflicted by:

Qazlal Stormbringer's cold-elemental Upheaval ability.
The Glaciate spell.
The Flash Freeze spell.
The Creeping Frost spell.
The Hoarfrost Bullet from Hoarfrost cannon spell

History

Prior to 0.32, Frozen increased movement delay by 0.3 decaAut for all creatures (instead of a % increase), and the status only lasted for 2-4 turns.
Frozen was added in 0.14.
