Based on the normal troop Lava Hound, the Ice Hound is a Super Troop. When the Lava Hound is at a minimum of level 5, the Ice Hound can be unlocked by boosting it.

The in-game description of the Ice Hound is:

"Free from all the lava-induced indigestion, the Ice Hound is ready to freeze the flow of battle. Chill out, or else."

Boosting the Lava Hound costs a Super Potion or 25,000 Dark Elixir, and it lasts three days. The level of Ice Hound that a player gains from the boost is the same as the Lava Hound level.

The Ice Hound is comparable to a Lava Hound, but has more hitpoints and the ability to chill targets it hits, like the Ice Wizard and Ice Golem. When it dies, it releases a swarm of Ice Pups that are comparable to Lava Pups.

While any Air Defenses remain on the battlefield, Ice Hounds prioritize Air Defense above all other defenses, and will skip all other enemy troops. Players will need Town Hall 12 to transform Lava Hounds into Ice Hounds due to level requirements.
