'''Ice Gnorcs''', also named '''Snowmen''',<ref>''Spyro the Dragon'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide, page 54.</ref> are large purple [[Gnorc]]s that appear as enemies in ''[[Spyro the Dragon]]''. They are a variant of [[Big Gnorc]]s. Aside from being purple, Ice Gnorcs are essentially identical in appearance to Big Gnorcs in the original [[PlayStation]] version. In the ''[[Spyro Reignited Trilogy]]'' remake, Ice Gnorcs wear woolly winter clothing, including dark purple gloves, dark purple slippers, a ripped shirt, and a black belt. Ice Gnorcs also have icicle spikes on their club.


Ice Gnorcs are only encountered in [[Magic Crafters]], where they are spawned by certain [[Elder Wizard]]s. Ice Gnorcs act very similar to Big Gnorcs, and they attack [[Spyro the Dragon|Spyro]] by smashing him with their club. Like Big Gnorcs, because of their large size, Ice Gnorcs are invulnerable to [[charge]] attacks but can be defeated from a [[flame]] attack.

First appearance Spyro the Dragon (1998)
Latest appearance Spyro Reignited Trilogy (2018)
Variant of Gnorc

Ice Gnorcs, also called Snowmen[1], are large bluish-purple Gnorcs that are summoned by the Elder Wizards. As such, they are found in Magic Crafters.

Characteristics

Physical Appearance

Snowmen strongly resemble the Gnorc Sentries in Dark Hollow, but they look different, due to being created by Elder Wizards rather than Gnasty Gnorc.

Behavior

Upon their creation, Snowmen will attempt to crush any Armored Druid closest to them. They attack Spyro by smashing him with their clubs.

Tactics

Due to their large size, Snowman Gnorcs are immune to Spyro's charge attack. They can also smash Spyro easily with their clubs if he approaches them too closely due to the quickness of their attack. The best way to defeat them is to flame them quickly, or flame them when out of reach of their club attack.
