Snowboy

"YES!! Sweet, precious life! I've been perfectly molded! No complaints here!"

- Snowman

Snowboys (known as snowmen prior to ) are snowfolk in the. They can be built by the player by rolling two snowballs together. If built perfectly, they will give the player unique winter-themed items.

Appearance
Snowboys are snowfolk, each one made of two snowballs, like their families. They have red noses almost shaped like triangles, big black circle dots for eyes, and small black circle dots for mouths.

Personality
Snowboys are usually grateful to anyone who builds them, a trait they share with their family. When built perfectly, they become conceited, constantly bragging about their perfect shape and form. When built near perfectly, they will briefly complain about their slight imperfection, but they will still overall be thankful. When built averagely, they will complain about the player's incompetence, and they will act with overall indifference. When built poorly, they will complain greatly and speak sarcastically, harshly criticizing the player's poor snowman-making abilities.

In
In, snowmen can be built from December 25 to February 17, and, if built perfectly, will mail the player an item from the Snowman Series the following day. Additionally, a furniture item can be obtained from Tortimer on Snow Day. If a snowman is walked into for around two seconds, it will fall apart. Otherwise, snowmen will stay where they are for several days until they melt.

In and
Snowmen appear in and  and act similar to their appearance in, mailing the player items from the Snowman Series if built perfectly. They can be built from December 10 to December 25. Additionally, the Snowman furniture item returns, though it is now obtained from the snowman himself. Unlike in, snowmen cannot be destroyed by running into them.

In
In, snowmen are now known as Snowboys, and alongside them are three new snowpeople: Snowmam, Snowman, and Snowtyke. Snowboys can be built from December 11 to February 25, and, like in previous games, Snowboys will mail the player an item from the Snowman Series if built perfectly. An imperfectly built Snowboy will comment that the player is so close to perfection, while a poorly built one will poke fun at the player for building him that way. A Snowboy has the same voice as a lazy villager.

Snowboys, as well as all other snowpeople, do not appear in dreams and cannot be called with a megaphone.

In
Snowboys return in and, like in previous games, can be built by rolling two snowballs together. If a Snowboy is built perfectly, he gives the player who built him a and a DIY recipe for an item from the Frozen Series. The first time the player builds a Snowboy, he gives them the rewards regardless of how well he was built. If the player has learned all the Frozen Series DIY recipes, a perfectly-built Snowboy will only gives them a large snowflake, but if the player has crafted all of the Frozen Series items at least once, the Snowboy will mail them a random item from the Snowboy DIY recipes instead to giving them a large snowflake.

Snowboys last for four days before completely melting, and speaking to a perfectly-built one on the three days after it is built results in him giving the player a large snowflake each day.
