Snowmen are enemies found in Frozen Altars. They were constructed by the native penguins during a snowman building competition and were then brought to life by the Sorceress. Ernest later requested for Spyro to destroy all the Snowmen.
Snowmen remain stationary unless approached, in which case they will immediately grab Spyro, shake and then throw him away (without causing harm). When the laser defense system is used against one, the Snowman will move around erratically to avoid being hit, as each time the laser hits it, it partially melts and shrinks. However, the Snowman will grow back to its original size if left alone for a while.
