 * I'm not so sure as it is user created (created by me, actually) but its as close as it would look when the update is released. I believe it can go in. Bloodyjabs 16:02, 21 September 2011 (UTC)


 * We don't know if the colors and such are spot on. We have to wait until we have something official. Just like that guess at how they're crafted. Don't get ahead of yourself, applies to everyone. MegaScience 16:04, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Lol it looks ridiculous
I think it's a joke - it looks like a snowman with badly drawn laughter - I woulnd't expect this... "mob" in Minecraft. Xeoxer 17:25, 21 September 2011 (UTC)


 * When you play as a weird miner in the middle of nowhere, I don't think your snowmen would be exactly... symmetrical... - DarkAuk 19:43, 21 September 2011 (UTC)


 * For some reason, I felt like you could draw the face yourself. Just my thought, looks like something they'd doodle up for fun while testing. At the very least, not a required face, and maybe just test. MegaScience 19:58, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Allied or passive
What are these classified as? They attack enemies like tamed wolves but don't follow you around. When you hit them, they run away like scared passive animals, though. --PKFire 20:49, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Probably Allied. They don't follow you, but you do create them so you do have some role in their attack against mobs.  --Warlock 20:51, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Nether
I don't know who removed my edit, but Snow Golems CAN be crafted in the Nether, and they will not melt unless they approach a definite source of heat (lava, fire), similar to the way they would in the real world. Whether or not this is a bug is unclear. Ederek Cole 22:02, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

ALLIED OR PASSIVE?
Should they be allied or passive?

Allied since they delay monsters from attacking you and keep them away. Passive, since they do not attack you under any circumstances. They can't be neutral since they attack things when seen. --Ferrariic 01:02, 23 September 2011 (UTC)Ferrariic


 * Neither, they are technically a "Utility mob." That means they will need their own section. Zoythrus 01:48, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Really? I thought it was "allied".... --Trollrilla 08:50, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

They pull Endermen off you
I find this fact rather relevant. If you aggro an Enderman and your snow golems attack it, that pulls the Enderman off of you and they lose aggro permanently until you look at them again. This is a compelling defense against accidentally pulling Endermen into your home. Rather than being deletionist why don't you just rewrite it if you find it too flavorful, Warlock? 99.235.112.4 17:53, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The article already says they provoke hostile mobs. Endermen are hostile mobs, hence it was already covered.  And how is "they will lay down their lives to pull the Enderman off the player" not flavorful? --Warlock 18:02, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
