The Snowager guarding its treasure

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.

Main article: NeoQuest II

The Snowager is an NPC in NeoQuest II, and contrary to his terrorising role in the Ice Caves, in the simulation he keeps order in Terror Mountain's roads of avalanches, which are actually the ship's data routes. He is imprisoned by Scuzzy and it is the job of Rohane and his party to defeat Scuzzy and free the Snowager. After Scuzzy is defeated the Snowager is free and reveals himself as a sentient program in charge of maintaining the ship's computers, but that a virus has been installed and now has control of the ship's computers.
