Snorunt (Japanese: ユキワラシ Yukiwarashi) is an Ice-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

It evolves into either Glalie starting at level 42 or, if female, Froslass when exposed to a Dawn Stone.

Biology

Snorunt is a small, black Pokémon with an ovoid body. It has circular, light blue eyes, wide teeth, and spherical hands and feet that lack digits. It is covered with a yellow cloak that gives it a triangular outline. The coat is rimmed with an orange stripe and has three orange diamond markings on the back. Well-adapted to life in colder climates, it subsists on snow and ice and can survive temperatures as low as -150 degrees Fahrenheit. Snorunt is also a social creature, living and traveling with other Snorunt in groups of five. It can be found in caves, particularly when the outside weather lacks snow. Additionally, it has been known to visit human dwellings.

Trivia

Origin

Snorunt is based on a yukinko, a childlike spirit in Japanese mythology said to emerge when it snows, as well as the zashiki-warashi, a mischievous spirit from the folklore of Iwate Prefecture. It also seems to be a stylized version of a person wearing a yuki mino, a type of traditional winter wear from the snowy parts of Japan that consists of a conical snow-cloak made of straw. Generally, yukinko are depicted as small, elf-like creatures wearing yuki mino.

Name origin

Snorunt is a combination of snow and runt (a smaller-than-average animal).

Yukiwarashi may be a combination of 雪 yuki (snow) and 座敷童子 zashiki warashi (a spiritual creature found in the folklore of Iwate Prefecture). It should be noted that 童子 warashi on its own is simply an archaic word for child.
