The Snow Monger is a Hardmode miniboss that spawns during the Frost Legion event. It drops 4 items that can be beneficial to the player in early Hardmode, when the Frost Legion is first accessible.

Behavior

The Snow Monger attacks on a 10.8 second loop, and it will never deviate from it. When not performing its lunging attack, it does not deal any contact damage.

Attacks

• Flies towards a spot directly above the player for the first half of its attack loop, firing 4 pairs of ice bolts from its cannons. It moves faster if the player is further away.
• Quickly moves above the player, then stops in place and rapidly fires 3 icy beams straight downwards from its tail which penetrate through tiles.
• Roars and lunges at the player in an attempt to deal contact damage.

Notes

• Killing a Snow Monger progresses the event by the equivalent of killing 10 normal enemies.
• Unlike the other Frost Legion enemies, Snow Monger does not drop any money upon death.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Snow Monger: "A dangerous hovercraft made of spine-chillingly cold metal, and powered by Frost Cores. Playtime's over, no more mister ice guy!"

• The penguin piloting the Snow Monger was likely a reference to the Dreadwing, a boss from Starbound.
