Snowdin Town, sans., Premonition

**Snowdin** is the third major area in The Underground. It can be encountered after leaving the Ruins. After leaving the ruins, Snowdin Forest can be encountered. Departure from the town leads to Waterfall by foot or, by hitching a ride with the River Person, to either Waterfall or Hotland.

Despite being Underground, Snowdin is covered in a perpetual layer of ice and snow, and, because of how cold it is, it mainly homes monsters with thick fur or monsters that do not get cold.

### Snowdin Shop

The Snowdin Shop is the first building that can be encountered after entering Snowdin Town, with a SAVE Point and a Dimensional Box next to it. It has a smaller building that connects it to the Snowed Inn. It is the first vendor encounterable in The Underground.

A female purple bunny runs the shop, who can be asked about what there is to do in Snowdin and about the history of the town. She is positive about the Underground's future. The rabbit who runs the Snowed Inn is her sister.

### Snowdin Library

The Snowdin Library, misspelled as "LIBRARBY" on the sign, is a building near the middle of Snowdin. Around a table, two newspaper editors and a Loox are present. One editor discusses how they make content even though there is never much to report on while the other talks about their history with word searches.A lizard is also present, commenting on their awareness of the library sign's misspelling.

The bookshelves provide lore and jokes.
