cold resistance

Withstanding low temperatures

Cold resistance is the ability to withstand low temperatures without damage or discomfort.

In biology, it describes how well organisms survive freezing conditions; some plants have high cold resistance while tropical species have none.

In video games and fantasy settings, cold resistance is a character stat or equipment property that reduces damage from ice-based attacks.
