Bitefrost

Bitefrosts are enemies which appear in Super Mario Odyssey, in which they inhabit the Bitefrost Cavern in the Snow Kingdom.
==Profile==
===Physical description===
Bitefrosts resemble pillars with faces on top and purple diamond eyes.
===Behavior===
Bitefrosts bury their bodies in the snow, waiting for their pray. Upon sensing Mario walking overhead, Bitefrosts spring, trying to bite down on him with their teeth. Mario can use Bitefrosts to his advantage, but he must jump before they close their teeth down on him, lest he be eaten and get hurt. Bitefrosts cannot be defeated.
===Variations===
Bitefrosts have a pink variation that can be found in a gear-themed Bonus area with torches that can be accessed in the Luncheon Kingdom after Mario activates that Kingdom's Moon Rock. These pink Bitefrosts and their normal counterparts have the same behaviour.
==Behind the scenes==
