Frostermit is a monster encountered in Snowdin, where it appears as a scripted encounter right after the Delta Rock. It was first revealed in February 2018, in the Snowdin trailer.

Profile

Appearance

Frostermit is a hermit crab-like monster with an igloo-shaped shell that it hides in. It appears in four variants on the dance stage in Hotland: its regular variant, a Dunes variant with a pyramid for a shell and orange skin, a Steamworks variant with a metallic look and a cube for a shell, and a Hotland variant with red skin and magma for a shell.

Personality

Frostermit initially appears shy and hides in its shell, but it appreciates dancing and comes out of its shell when it sees someone dance around.

Main Story

Its scripted encounter happens at the start of the room to the east of the Delta Rock in Snowdin.

Neutral Route

Three Dunes specimen of the Frostermit appear in Oasis Valley as NPCs behind a fence that makes visitors think that they are supposed to feed them and take pictures of them. One of them also states how they keep being asked for treasure within their pyramid-shaped shells, which they do not have.

In El Bailador's dance club in Hotland, four specimen of the Frostermit appear, one for each area of the game after Dark Ruins. They appear to be enjoying the dance.

Pacifist Route

Its regular variant appears as an NPC in Snowdin when backtracking after Martlet's battle in the same room with its scripted encounter. It states how it took a vacation to the Wild East a while back, and how it wants to move there.

In Battle

Attacks

• Snowflakes: Snowflakes fall from the top of the bullet board.

• Pinchers: The bullet board shrinks heavily as Frostermit attacks with its ginormous pinchers.

Strategy

Frostermit can be spared by using the Dance ACT twice. First time makes Frostermit come out of its shell, and the second time makes it spareable, joining the dance.

Trivia

• A Frostermit appears as a cameo in Snowdin in Deltatraveler, where he talks about a rope allowing monsters to climb from beneath the Gauntlet of Deadly Terror bridge that has recently been cut.
• Frostermit is mostly referred to using it/its pronouns, but the line "Frostermit is tapping out a rhythm with his pincers." refers to him using he/him pronouns. This is probably an oversight.
• Frostermit was originally designed by NoteBlock.
