**Blizzard the Snow Golem** is a fan character designed by Frostybites16. Blizzard resides in the Minecraft universe.

Blizzard is a special type of Snow Golem known by some as Snow Glowems (which are essentially Snow Golems with Jack-o-lanterns as their heads). He is the main character of Minecraft A New Age.

## Biography

Blizzard lives a quiet life in an abandoned snow-covered igloo. During this time he befriends a small magma cube (whom he names Inferno). He likes to eat mushrooms and coal as his main food sources.

## Appearance

Blizzard is a small snow golem divided into two balls of snow (four, if one counts his legs) and a jack-o'-lantern, though he has the ability to rearrange his appearance at will. Six rectangular rocks modeled as buttons are on his body, three on his midsection and three on his bottom half. Underneath his bottom half are two stubs of snow that serve as his legs or feet for moving around. He has two stick arms with a few leaves growing out of them, and on each arm are four fingers. His head is a jack o' lantern made from a kakai pumpkin that emits a soft glow from his eyes as well as his mouth, and it takes up nearly a third of his body. He has three curly vines growing out of his head (each of which tipped with leaf) that resemble strands of hair, and the vines also move to convey emotions.

His pumpkiny head is a vibrant reddish orange, with green vertical stripes outlined in yellow running down throughout it, with a lighter green vine and leaves sprouting from the head. His eyes and mouth emit a soft golden glow. His buttons are purplish blue and shiny and his stick arms are dark brown with lighter stripes. The leaves on his head and arms are usually green but do change colors with the seasons. The rest of his body is a pale blue color with permafrost and snowflake patterns.

His face, eyes, and mouth become ignited when he is angry or upset, his face glows a bright orange and red with small embers coming from his eyes and mouth. Like all snow golems, as he moves, he leaves a trail of snow on the ground wherever he goes, depending on the biome temperature.

If Blizzard is sheared, it removes the pumpkin, revealing a second face, with two eyes made out of coal, and a little blue mouth.

Sometimes he wears a traveler's backpack that he crafted, which increases his inventory space. He also wields a slingshot and a wooden axe as his primary weapon.

## Personality

Blizzard is very curious, has a friendly demeaner, is loyal to his allies and he keeps anything interesting he can find. He befriends a lost little magma cube, which shows he is a caring (snow) person. With the little creature being one of fire, and him being a snow golem, he had every reason to not take him in, but he did anyway, so this was an extraordinary display of compassion. He has become a little lonely, though having nobody but Inferno as his company, and every now and then does wonder whether there is more to life then what he's doing, but overall he is very content.

## Abilities

**Natural Abilities:**

* **Endless Snowballs:** Blizzard can throw snowballs at his enemies and never runs out of ammunition. He can throw regular snowballs, but he can also throw packed snowballs, which actually do damage unlike regular ones.
* **Flaming Pumpkin Seeds:** Blizzard can spit rapid fire flaming seeds at his enemies. Impressive, is it not?
* **Lantern:** One of Blizzard's notable features is his ability to provide light. his head glows like a lantern, emitting a bright light, which allows him to illuminate dark areas. He can dim and brighten his light accordingly.
* **Fall Damage Immunity:** Blizzard does not take fall damage. He can fall from any height and be perfectly fine.

**Skillset:**

* **Building & Crafting:** Blizzard is able to build and craft things, which is something snow golems usually don't do. Blizzard can build magnificent contraptions that can solve his problems on a large scale. However, when you take those away he is actually pretty weak physically.
* **Cooking:** Blizzard is good at cooking. Granted, the only thing he knows how to make is mushroom stew, but it is one mean mushroom stew, so hold up, let him cook.
* **Drawing:** Blizzard is good at drawing.
* **Weapon proficiency:** Blizzard is proficient in the use of his slingshot to launch his snowballs much farther than by throwing them. He isn't actually very skilled at using melee weapons and close combat however, but he is able to manage using his wooden axe to eliminate targets and defend himself if he has to.
* **Belly Sliding:** Blizzard is able to slide down hills on his belly and reach great speeds.
* **Torch Breath:** Blizzard can blow a stream of concentrated flames out of his mouth from the flame within his head. He has a fine degree of control over his ability, as he is able to use it to carefully carve burning inscriptions in tree bark, he typically uses it to make engravings such as these.
* **Flaming snowballs:** Blizzard can set a snowball aflame with his torch breath and throw said snowballs.
* **Shapeshifting:** Blizzard is primarily made out of snow, and his body regularly produces it, coupled with the fact that his body is moldable, he has the ability to change his body shape into just about anything he wants. He also has the ability to make various body parts on various areas of his body. He gets smaller when he is melting but is able to rebuild most of his body with snow.
* **Snowballing:** Blizzard is capable of rolling himself into a large snowball.
* **Autonomy:** Blizzard’s body parts are also capable of autonomy and can be rearranged or separated from Blizzard without any harm happening to him. He is capable of controlling his body parts even when separated.

**Unique Abilities:**

* **Prehensile Vines:** Blizzard can use the vines on his head to grasp things.

## Weaknesses

* **Heat:** Blizzard is made of permafrost, making him tougher than most Snow Golems, but he is still vulnerable to melting from exposure to high temperatures, albeit less so. Depending on the biome temperature, he will take heat damage, causing him to melt and die. any biome with a temperature greater than 1.0. will eventually be fatal. Examples include savannas, badlands, deserts or any biome in the Nether. Fire Resistance can allow him to survive in these environments though.
* **Water:** Contact with water will cause damage to Blizzard as he risks melting, so he actively avoids it. This not only includes sitting bodies of water but rain as well.

## Relationships

### Allies

* **Stardust the Enderman**
* **Tai the Creeper**
* **Sniffles the Sniffer**

## Trivia

* I don't remember when I created Blizzard, but it was probably sometime during 2019 or 2018, it was before the 2020 Covid 19 pandemic started, I know that much.
* Blizzard does not speak conventionally but instead communicates mostly with body language, and when he does speak, it comes out as snow golem sounds but with added subtitles or speech bubbles translating what he's saying. That being said, if he did have a voice actor it'd be Linechu
* Blizzard's main theme is It Really Makes Me Wonder -LOVING CALIBER, with his other themes being A Beautiful World Out There - Nashional, and Squeeda - Vulnerable.
* I chose ***It** **Really Makes Me Wonder -LOVING CALIBER*** as Blizzard's main theme because I think it perfectly captures his curiosity and well, wonder about the world as well as his peaceful nature. And I also could see him asking himself many of the questions in the song
* The leaves on Blizzard's head and arms change color with the seasons.
* The design of Blizzard's head was based of this glass pumpkin decoration I found, which seemed to be modeled after a kakai pumpkin, which is known for it's dark green vertical stripes and tasty hull-less, seeds.
* Blizzard was accidently created by an enderman.
