Frost vrykul are a variant of vrykul. A fraction of their number (notably the residents of Valkyrion) serve the Lich King. Brunnhildar Village is home to a faction of female Frost Vrykul who retain their ancestral loyalty to Thorim.

Female vrykul may ascend to the status of Hyldnir by completing the Hyldsmeet. It is unknown what happens to those that fail. Hyldnir that elect to serve the Lich King may go to Valkyrion where those that are judged worthy by the Lich King become Val'kyr. Male Vrykul may travel to Jotunheim and battle at Valhalas. The winners of this competition are taken to Ymirheim and become Ymirjar. The losers become Vargul.

Unlike many of the Lich King's minions, the frost vrykul seem to retain their intelligence and free will, serving their master of their own volition, in the hopes of gaining the Lich King's favor and being turned into Val'kyr or other higher order undead. Frost Vrykul who fail to gain the Lich King's favor are turned into Vargul, a more standard form of undead.

Though the Ymirjar seem to serve the Lich King exclusively, the Hyldnir serve Thorim and believe those who travel to Valkyrion to be traitors.
