==Summary==
Glacius is a playable character in the Killer Instinct series. He is an alien seemingly composed of a liquid substance, which allows him to alter his body's density and control ice. The Glacius introduced in the first game is an explorer who was wandering the galaxy in search of new life and whose spaceship was dragged down by Earth's gravitational field, resulting in a crash landing. He departed in search of the pieces necessary to repair his vehicle, but due to his trusting nature toward humans, he was soon captured by Ultratech and turned into a convict. Glacius was then forced to enter the Killer Instinct tournament in order to test Ultratech's latest creations, and eventually killed Cinder, his final opponent. After that, he retrieved the missing materials by stealing Ultratech's technology, repaired his spaceship and safely returned home without being caught by the time shift that occurred after Eyedol's death.
Killer Instinct 2, due to being set 2000 years in the past, features another Glacius, the ancestor of the one from the first game. This Glacius is an ambassador of his planet who received the task to save a scout team that was sent on Earth. Once reached the unknown planet, he was captured by the servants of Gargos and imprisoned, until the arrival of warriors from the future and the demon lord himself caused enough chaos to allow Glacius to break free from his prison. Now stranded in a hostile environment, he starts wandering the land looking for his lost kin, with enemies such as Gargos and Sabrewulf ready to halt his plans.

*Fighting Style: Both Glacius are mostly physical fighters, who prefer to use their arms to fight, although they include some kicks, notably aiming for the midsection or the legs with swipe kicks. KI Glacius mainly employs high punches, like hooks and uppercuts, while KI2 Glacius prefers hand swipes, headbutts and tends to use kicks slighty more often than his descendant. They mix up their combos with moves such as Cold Shoulder, Liquidize and Ice Lance, the latter combined with other weapons created with their shapeshifting powers.
