snow monster

Icy cryptid beast

A snow monster is a large, fearsome creature imagined to inhabit snowy or mountainous regions—the yeti, abominable snowman, or similar beings from folklore and fiction.

The term also describes accumulations of ice and rime that form on trees in harsh winter conditions, creating eerie, monster-like shapes: The snow monsters of Mount Zao attract tourists every winter.
