The Icicle Golem is the boss of Sherbet Desert in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. He is a Rabbid fused with the contents of a giant refrigerator, when Spawny fell into the latter and involuntarily used his powers.

Battle

Immediately prior to the boss battle, the Icicle Golem freezes Mario and his allies in blocks of ice. Princess Peach arrives and frees two of the heroes (Mario and whichever Rabbid hero is in the second team slot), but the Icicle Golem throws the third character into his fridge before they can be defrosted; thus, Peach herself rounds out the party for the boss battle. An extra part of the pre-battle cutscene plays if Rabbid Peach is the second hero.

Initially, the Icicle Golem uses a refrigerator door on his left hand as a shield - much like a Buckler, this renders him immune to frontal assault. It fires blasts of ice from his cannon-like right arm; like a Rocket weapon, this hits a cone-shaped area around its main target, hitting everyone in range for 30 HP and a high chance of being Frozen. The heroes must work together to flank the boss and hit him from his vulnerable sides and back, slowly depleting the monster's health.

In the second phase, the Icicle Golem loses his shield, but gains a close-range fist pound attack that deducts 70 HP from the targeted character and 35 HP from everyone within a square or two of the impact point. The boss also begins using a "line of sight" technique that allows him to attack heroes moving within his vision range on their turn. At the end of the boss's first turn in this phase, a pair of Sherbet Smashers spawn on either side of the arena. Mario and his allies must manage the new enemies along with the main boss as they wear down his HP a second time.

In the third phase, the Icicle Golem's legs melt off as he crawls to the far end of the arena, where it remains for the rest of the battle. It continues using his old attacks, but his "line of sight" counterattack can be activated much more frequently. It also gains a pair of Sherbet Supporters at the end of his first turn; the Rabbids appear on either side of the Golem, and should be dealt with quickly to prevent them from disrupting the party and healing the boss.

Once his HP is depleted for the third time, the Icicle Golem's body will collapse, leaving his head on the ground. The head no longer attacks or moves; all the heroes have to do is hit it with a dash attack to knock off his lower jaw and end the battle. In the post-battle cutscene, the Rabbid member of the party (usually Rabbid Peach) picks up the boss's head, plays with it for a moment in a manner similar to the "Alas, poor Yorick" scene from William Shakespeare's Hamlet, then sets it down for Peach to kick back into the giant refrigerator from whence it came, freeing the trapped member of the party in the process.
