Snow golem is a type of monster in ADOM, that first appeared in v. 1.2.0 along with the new cold-based dungeons. They are humanoid constructs that are quite strong in melee combat, and have an ice breath attack that seemingly deals physical damage on top of cold-based damage (though cold immunity negates all damage from the attack). As might be expected, they take extra damage from fire based spells but are immune to cold. They are also notable for giving quite a lot of XP when destroyed, when compared with the yields from monsters of similar durability (or lack of).
Two snow golems always guard the moat at the entrance to the Ice Queen Domain; these respawn each time the PC re-enters the level. Other snow golems are found in other parts of the domain, can be randomly generated in the Frost Giant Jarl Caves, and can be summoned by the ice queen (if she is hostile).

Monster memory[]
This huge construct has been shaped from ice and snow. It moves in a meandering, gliding and rolling way, unstoppable, irresistible. Its huge fists threaten to engulf and throttle you. Pale blue eyes shaped from ice in an otherwise empty face monitor all your movements warily.
