Template:Ktab Template:Kaiju Infobox Snowman (雪男?, Yuki Otoko, lit. Yeti) is a yeti kaiju created by Toho that first appears in the 1955 Toho film, Half Human. Template:TOC

Appearance

Snowman is most likely brown in color to blend in with its woodland surroundings, although this can only be speculated as his only appearance was in black and white. Snowman has an extremely muscular body and is able to lift a woman and run extremely fast without trouble. The creature has a humanoid face along with human body features, such as opposable thumbs. Snowman is significantly taller than humans, and has shaggy fur all over its body. The creature makes it home within the Japanese Alps to bare its offspring. It can be assumed that Snowman is asexual because no female was ever seen.

Origins

Where this creature came from and how it was created is entirely unknown, during the events of the film it is worshiped by a village. Most of their population was killed off when they ate poisonous mushrooms as a tradition.

History

Showa Series

Half Human

The Snowman is first seen looking into a tent window while explorers are sleeping in it, but is quickly intrigued when the explorer wakes up, causing him to run into the forest. It is revealed that villagers worship the Snowman as a deity. The next scene with him in it shows him carrying a deer carcass, when he hears a scream, and goes to help a human that almost fell off a cliff. The person is a hunter who spots that the Snowman is only a baby. He figures that he can catch him as bait for the adult. The hunter hauls the baby and the lured adult in a truck. He ends up killing the baby and the adult Snowman breaks out of it's cage. He kills the hunter and returns to his cave. He falls into a pit of sulfuric acid and is drowned alive.

Abilities

Snowman's only ability is super human strength, it can lift humans and smash down structures with ease. After its young was killed by a circus attempting to capture the creature, Snowman goes berserk and attacks everything in sight, killing many people and destroying the entire circus ground. It then kidnapped the female lead and escaped into the mountains, carrying her with one hand.
