The Snowager | The Snowager first appeared when his cave was added to the Ice Caves map on January 11, 2001. In it, the Snowager guards his treasure from any user who would want to take some of it. | ||

During these times, it is possible to sneak in and grab a prize from the pile of treasure he rests on. Prizes range from [[negg]]s to medicine to [[plushie]]s. Anyone who attempts to steal some of his treasure runs the risk of waking the Snowager, and he may deal damage to a user's active Neopet, or all of a user's Neopets, by delivering a powerful icy blast. | ||
==Plot | Being blasted by the Snowager allows the user to challenge him in the [[Battledome]]. It also has a chance of awarding the user with an [[avatar]]. | ||
The player may attempt to steal one piece of treasure every time the Snowager sleeps. | |||
===Winter Starlight Celebration=== | |||
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 | 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. | |||
