The creature of the snowman is certainly not unfamiliar to everyone, it may be a good memory of the snowman when we were a child, it may also be a strange legend in the wilderness, or it may be a character or monster in the game, which has accompanied us through countless boring times. This time, let's take a look at the history of the snowman and talk about the common snowman images in the game.
Also known as Bigfoot Savages, the Yeti are supposed to be humanoid monsters that live near the Himalayas, according to legendary descriptions. These are descriptions of snowmen in the TV puzzle section of my childhood, or in books such as the unsolved mysteries of the world. Moreover, many expeditions claimed to have seen them that year, and left some vague photos as evidence.
But the funny thing is that as the pixels of the mobile phone continue to increase, the snowmen have disappeared without a trace, can it be said that they know that humans have enough equipment to shoot their lineup, and shyly hide deeper in the mountains?
For now, the rumors of the Yeti have not been confirmed, and the sources say that they are high primates, about 7 feet tall, able to walk upright, large and have some intelligence.
In 1951, the famous British mountaineer Eric Sipton and his companions found a series of huge footprints in the snow of the Himalayas, and also took pictures and tracked them, but the footprints disappeared after less than 2 kilometers. The measurements found that the footprint was 33 centimeters long and 24 centimeters wide, so huge that it was obviously not a human or a gorilla.
In 1975, a Nepalese Sherpa girl claimed to have been attacked by snow leopards while chopping firewood on her mountain. Saved by a humanoid creature covered in white hair, the snowman once again entered the public eye. Moreover, similar snowman rescue incidents have occurred more than once.
In 1938, Ovigu, curator of the Victoria Memorial in Calcutta, said he had suffered a snowstorm while traveling alone in the Himalayas. In the absence of any measures to call for help, he thought he would die, but when he was close to death, he was covered by an animal nearly 3 meters high and saved his life.
Each of these stories was told to the gods, but each time they left enough evidence that the debate about the yeti continued.
"Snowman" is a common name for the "wild man" in the alpine zone, in addition to "Chemo", "Night Emperor" and other titles. According to various mythical rumors, they are widely used in the Caucasus Mountains, the Himalayas, the Karakoram, the Pamir Plateau and the Mongolian Plateau.
In addition to the heroic rescue deeds, the snowman also spread the story of the abduction of. The female writer Gilning records in her adventure that she and a group of Nepalese girls went to the Himalayas to find a snowman, and the Nepalese girls found a mountain stream, so they played naked in it, and were abducted by more than a dozen "night emperors" (snowmen).
As for why she herself was not taken away? Her explanation was that she was watching the snow in the distance and escaped because she did not go into the water to play. If she is recording real events, then it seems that the snowman is not only intelligent, but also a group of LSPs.
Some have witnessed it, some have found corpses, some have seen fur, and some have even personally fed the snowman. Although there are many rumors and reports about snowmen, after all, no one has ever caught a real snowman, so whether there is a snowman in this world or not, no one dares to make up his mind.
Whether there are snowmen in the real world is uncertain, but there are many snowmen in the game world, such as Nunu's friend Willamp in League of Legends, who is a kind snowman. Snow monsters also appear in the snow in Northend in Warcraft 3, using claw attacks and have some of the habits of bears.
The snowman in "Borderlands 2" is relatively evil, but it is not made into a high-quality villain, but only as a novice BOSS in the first level, and they have nothing to throw ice cubes to attack the player, in fact, it is quite in line with the public's impression of the snowman.
There are also yeties in World of Warcraft, located in the Otrank Mountains, where they kill giant mountain lions and grill meat on the Flame of Ukir, and soon the scent will attract frost-throated snowmen.
In addition, the image of the snowman often appears in horror games, but the shape is no longer visible, they look more like gorillas.
Of course, there are many snowmen in other games, and they also appear in various forms.
