Snowlems (a [[Portmanteau]] of Snow [[Golem|Golems]]s) are living snowmen, often complete with stovepipe hats, lumps of coal for eyes, and carrots for noses. Genre writers with a sense of humor may [[An Ice Person|cast them]] as [[Elementals|Ice Elementals]]. There are three varieties of Snowlems:
 
'''Version I. The Friendly Snowlem:''' Also known as the "[[Frosty the Snowman]]" variety, they often are simply snowmen constructed by cute kids and animated by [[Christmas Special|Christmas magic]]. Very often the subject of [[Narm]].
Line 15:
'''Version III: The Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snowlem:''' The snowman is something to be [[Nightmare Fuel|feared]]. Perhaps it's some supernatural monstrosity shaped into a snowman or perhaps a serial killer back to life or maybe it was simply evil snow, it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is... oh my god, he just killed that guy with a carrot!
 
Snowlems sometimes get into [[Snowball Fight|Snowball Fights]]s.
 
See also [[Improvised Golems]].
Line 36:
* [[Digimon]] has had several different Snowlems, the most prominent being Frigimon.
* [[Ah! My Goddess|Urd]] created a Snowlem to assist her in a [[Snowball Fight]] with Skuld in the OAV.
* A surprisingly good anime-only episode of ''[[Ranma ½]]'' had both an uncontrollable snowlem and a friendly, but confused yuki-onna show up to cover the entire town in a blizzard. As it was made entirely of snow, it could regenerate any damage insantly. Its [[Achilles' Heel|only weakness]] was [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|the red gem it used as an]] "[[Go for the Eye|eye]]" --which—which, conveniently enough, was very vulnerable to Ryouga's Breaking Point technique. It still didn't stop until the yuki-onna used her flute to calm the monster down, at which point the eye became blue.
** In his introduction to the story, [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Principal]] [[Cloudcuckoolander|Kuno]] disguised himself [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|as a living, Engrish-speaking snowman for some unfathomable reason]] and went around trying to trim his students' hair.
 
Line 137:
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask]]'' has Eenos, lumps of snow that hurl snowballs at you.
* You play a heroic snowlem in [[The Caverns of Hammerfest]]
* The [[Time Splitters]] series featured a character named the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Snowman]], who rides on a magic rug instead of running on legs. According to its [[All There in the Manual|gallery description]], it was brought to life by a child's [[Be Careful What You Wish For|wish]], who then proceeded to traverse time and space in search of death and glory .<ref> ...and maybe some legs, too</ref>.
