'''Frigidite''' is a substance encountered in ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''. It is resistant to most forms of [[Beam]] and [[Missile|concussive]] weaponry, but exposure to [[Plasma Beam|extreme heat]] can remove it.<ref>{{cite|Security Gate bypass unit encased in frigidite shell. Exposure to extreme heat could clear unit and restore function.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime}}</ref>

Frigidite is potentially damaging to mechanical equipment, as in the case of the icy frigidite shell found on the security gate in the [[Elite Quarters Access]] in the [[Phazon Mines]].<ref>{{cite|Security Gates locked down.
