- “These Snowmads are a real downer... And right in the middle of surfing season, too.”
- —Funky Kong, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
The Snowmads are the main antagonists of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port. They are an organization of arctic and antarctic animals based on the stereotypical Vikings; hence, they are sometimes simply referred to as such.[1] The Snowmads are led by Lord Fredrik, a large Waldough with glowing blue eyes. The name "Snowmad" is a portmanteau of snow and nomad, as well as being a pun on "snowman". Snowmads are said to be "hailing from the North Sea",[2] and are identifiable by their emblem, a snowflake, which is shown on their longships' sail rigs, flags, buckles, collars, streamers, suspenders, some Viking helmets, tents and Fredrik's throne.
