The Monster Ice Cream Truck is a cheat unit in Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties. It is a white monster truck with an ice cream cone on top. It is available in the Scenario Editor and can be spawned using the cheat code 'ding ding ding'.

The Monster Ice Cream Truck can summon Villagers, which act like standard Villagers, and although they aren't always of the player's civilization, they speak that civilization's native language and have different skins. When the Villagers are summoned, a comical ice-cream chime sound is heard. The summoned Villagers, however, die after 60 seconds. It also has a powerful trample attack, allowing it to kill most units simply by driving over them, similar to BigAndy.

Special abilities

• Ice Cream: Ice Cream, we all want Ice Cream! Summons 10 Villagers in the target area. 240 seconds cooldown.

Trivia

• The Monster Ice Cream Truck is most likely based on the Chevrolet P30 Step-Van or the GMC Value-Van.
