Snow golems were a type of Golem devised to perform simple tasks by their creator, such as guarding an area or manning levers. They were a mound of snow animated by magic that could be sculpted in any shape their creators wished, but were often resembled white marble statues of humanoids wearing terrifying helmets. Although incapable of speaking, snow golems were usually accompanied by a haunting sound of mournful wind.
In combat, a snow golem used its weight to slam into a target. They also used snowballs as a ranged weapon, possibly from surrounding snow or created magically from their own bodies. They were not affected by any magic that affected the senses or changed their form, and nonmagical attacks would simply pass through their snowy bodies. They were, however, very vulnerable to any heat source, mundane or magical.
