Editing The Snowager

[[Image:lg snowager day 2004.gif|right|frame|The Snowager sleeps on its hoard.]]

The '''Snowager''' is a giant ice worm who lives in the [[Ice Caves]], guarding an enormous hoard of treasure. Cold as ice and extremely mean, the Snowager is renowned for its freezing cold breath. 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 [[wikipedia:European dragon|dragons of European folklore]], who in many stories - [[wikipedia:Beowulf|Beowulf]], [[wikipedia:Fafnir|Fafnir]] - guarded treasure. He first appeared on 11 January 2001.  

The [[Snowickle]] [[Petpet]] is reminiscent of the Snowager - in its snakelike appearance and markings, and tendency to [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=6&id=25 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]]. The [[Hissi]] resembles the Snowager when painted [[Ice]].  

 

In December 2011, as a part of the [[Winter Starlight Celebration]], the Snowager went into hibernation for the month. This meant users could visit at any time of the day and attempt to steal a prize. Initially, users could try every two hours - this was [http://www.neopets.com/nf.phtml?nf_date=2011-12-05 later fixed] to only allow [[daily|one attempt per day]].

The Snowager is an [[wikipedia:non-player character|non-player character]] in NeoQuest II. He keeps order in [[Terror Mountain]] by clearing the roads of avalanches and eating various monsters that prowl the roads. At the beginning of the act he has gone missing - imprisoned by [[Scuzzy]] in his cave. When [[Rohane]] defeats Scuzzy, the Snowager can clear the cave in keeping him trapped and the act is complete.  

The Snowager explains that his role in the ship's computer is to maintain the data lines and defeat rogue programmes - in the analogy of the simulation, clearing the roads and eating the monsters. A virus was introduced in the computer that he was unable to defeat, and he was trapped in a data loop - the cave. The virus is now in control of the ship's computer - the sentinel programme, in the guise of the Snowager, explains that it is up to Rohane to defeat it by entering the computer again in the rest of the  simulations he was now able to unlock.
