The Snowager
The Snowager is a giant ice worm who lives in the Ice Caves. Cold as ice and extremely mean, the Snowager is renowned for its freezing cold breath. It keeps a large treasure pile in his cave, which he always sleeps upon. While he sleeps for only a few hours a day, players may choose those times to approach and try to steal some of his hoard. The Snowager may based on the dragons of European folklore, who in many stories - Beowulf, Fafnir - guarded treasure.
The Snowickle Petpet is reminiscent of the Snowager - in its snakelike appearance and markings, and tendency to hoard objects - and fans have theorised that it the Snowager may be an overgrown form of the Snowickle, like the Turmaculus is an overgrown Turmac.
Snowager's Cave
The Snowager's Cave was added to the Ice Caves map on January 11, 2001. Through this cave is where the ice worm was first introduced.
The Snowager only sleeps between 6-7 AM, 2-3 PM, and 10-11 PM, Neopia Standard Time. During these times, it is possible to sneak in and grab a prize from the pile of treasure he rests on. Prizes range from Neggs to medicine to plushies. The Snowager can also wake up and deal damage to your active pet, or even to all of them, by delivering a powerful icy blast.
