Biology

Vanillite is supposedly born when the energy from the sun hits an icicle while wishing not to melt. It breathes -58 °F air and tends to sleep deep in the snow. Unable to survive in hot areas, it makes itself comfortable by breathing out air cold enough to cause snow, and when it is in warm places it shrinks little by little.

It feels pleasantly cool when embraced, which is why it is treasured by households in warm regions.

Design & origin

Vanillite and its evolutionary line were designed by British artist James Turner and are based on ice cream cones.
