Biology
Regice is composed of Antarctic ice that closely resembles a crystal. Its face has an unusual pattern consisting of seven yellow dots in a "+" formation. It has four spikes on its back. Its legs are conical and it balances its entire body on those two points. There are three fingers on each of its cylindrical arms. In the anime, Regice moves around by floating in the air. Regice cloaks itself in air that is -328 degrees Fahrenheit, and can survive submerged in molten lava and other extremely hot temperatures. Regice slept in a glacier for thousands of years.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
- Main article: Brandon's Regice
Regice debuted in The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV, when Glacia was attempting to open the Island Cave. Together, Steven and Sapphire created a team of four Beldum and Sapphire's Relicanth and Wailord, thus opening up the chamber containing Regice, as well as the other two titans, Regirock and Registeel. Regice used Superpower to stop Groudon and Kyogre from spreading destruction. After the battle, it and the other two titans—left weak and powerless—traveled to the mountains, where they were later caught by Brandon shortly before the opening ceremony of the Battle Frontier.
Brandon used Regice in his battle with Emerald. It beat Crystal's Cubone, which Emerald had borrowed to use in the Battle Pyramid, but Regice was subsequently defeated by Emerald's Sceptile and its Iron Tail.
In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga
Regice, along with the other two Legendary titans, are seen under the possession of Candice. She uses them against Hareta to test his worthiness to challenge Regigigas in A Novel Test!!.
