The study of Triaxan space worms in cryo-anesthesia research led to first frostmaw, an armored, toothy tube that can be wielded as a weapon. A frostmaw can't be reloaded, but the liquid inside regenerates at a rate of 1 projectile every round. These weapons are living creatures that can be directed by telepathic wielders. Unlike most area weapons, a frostmaw can be used to make ranged Strikes, expending a single projectile with a range increment of 15 feet.

Critical Specialization Effects
Source Player Core pg. 258
Certain feats, class features, weapon fusions, and other effects can grant you additional benefits when you make a Strike with certain weapons and get a critical success. This is called a critical specialization effect. The exact effect depends on which weapon group your weapon belongs to, as listed below. You can always decide not to add the critical specialization effect of your weapon.
Cryo This weapon freezes part of the target, making it hard for them to move their body. The target is clumsy 1 until the start of your next turn.
