Frostgrin

A grinning, blood-spattered snowman in a battered top hat that glides through the snow biome at night. A Mimic (see The Mimics): built in a front yard the winter the fever came, by a child who is still waiting for their father to come home.

How it works

  1. WHERE AND WHEN: the snow biome, at night only, from game stage 35. He is rare: a survivor meets him once every day or two at most.
  2. HOW HE MOVES: no feet. He drags along in a wide furrow and lurches the last few meters at you. In fresh snow his furrow shows where he went (your boots leave prints too).
  3. HOW HE FIGHTS: branch claws. A cut can leave frostbite. He laughs when he loses you, and frost smokes from his grin.
  4. HOW TO BEAT HIM: he is still only snow. He hits hard enough to hurt but does not take much killing: keep your distance, keep swinging or shooting, and he comes apart like a drift.
  5. WHAT HE LEAVES: snowballs and coal, now and then his top hat (you can wear it), and sometimes one of his two lore pages.
