Snowman

The Snowman (スノーマン Sunooman) is an ice monster from the Underworld and one of Medusa's toughest guards. Because of its body composition, it is one of the few creatures that prefers to reside in or around very cold places.

Characteristics

The Snowmen make up a race of primitive, humanoid frost beings that originally lived in the coldest parts of the Underworld. Their bodies are very resilient to most attacks, making them difficult beasts to take down. Snowmen are mischevious and cunning, but are also extremely territorial. As such, they don't treat trespassers kindly and will throw chunks of ice at their enemies until they either leave their territory or succumb to their injuries. Despite being Underworld monsters, Pit's adventures have shown that they are able to adapt to conditions at the surface so long as they stay within a cool climate. In addition, there also exists a shorter variation of these creatures, although they are just as strong as their larger brethren.

Appearances

Kid Icarus

"The Abominable Snowman of Angel Land. Its body is made of ice and likes cold places. A proud creature, it hurls ice to protect its territory."

Snowmen are foes encountered only in the Overworld's hinterlands, where they throw snowballs straight at Pit. They are very tough enemies with 10 Hit Points, and may not actually be worth the effort to take down (though Pit should still try, in order to increase his strength)

Kid Icarus: Uprising

The Snowman was confirmed to return as an enemy via its official AR Card. Compared to its previous appearances, this version of the Snowman looks more like it is made out of solid ice rather than snow. It also seems to be much more menacing than mischevious.

Captain N: The Game Master

A Snowman appeared in the episode "Mr. & Mrs. Mother Brain" where it tried to throw an ice shard at Pit, but it missed, and Pit destroyed him.

Trivia

• This monster was clearly inspired by stories of the Yeti or the Abominable Snowman, as mentioned in the official manual.
