A Freeze Ball (also known as a Spherical Petrification Module) is an invention created by Gargamel in the 2017 movie, Smurfs: The Lost Village, in order to capture Smurfs.
The Freeze Ball was created by Gargamel using the following ingredients: A pinch of newt poo, a gram of calcified fungus from between the toes of a yak, and a piece of cheese he left in his underpants last week. Once completed, it encases its target in green ice; making them unable to escape. Gargamel uses these balls to capture Papa Smurf, Brainy, Hefty, Clumsy, and all the Smurf Girls of Smurfy Grove in order to extract their essence, but because Smurfette was not considered a real Smurf, they had no effect on her.
Variations of freeze balls appear in the 2021 cartoon show episodes, though they are purple instead of green. "The Majestic 5" shows off its power and Gargamel uses the balls to capture the Smurfs. They can freeze Smurfs for a long period of time, as they wear off by the end of the episode.
Trivia
- Despite not being a real Smurf, Smurfette is somehow affected to it.
