They are an organization of arctic and antarctic animals based on the stereotypical {{wp|Vikings}}; hence, they are sometimes simply referred to as such and are identifiable by their emblem – a snowflake, which is shown on their ships' sail rigs, flags, buckles, collars, streamers, suspenders, some helmets, tents and [[Lord Fredrik]]'s throne.<ref>"''Help Donkey Kong and his friends save their home and banana hoard from marauding '''Vikings''' in the Donkey Kong Country™: Tropical Freeze game from Retro Studios.''" — '''''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''''', ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20160303104400/https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/donkey-kong-country-tropical-freeze-wii-u/ North American Nintendo eShop]''</ref> The name "Snowmad" is a portmanteau of snow and {{wp|nomad}}, as well as being a pun on "[[snowman]]". | ||

The creature proceeds to blow the [[Kongs]] ([[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Dixie Kong]], [[Cranky Kong]], and [[Funky Kong]]) away from the island, allowing Lord Fredrik's command ship to station itself on top of the island's [[Volcano]]. The Snowmads then seize the island and throw it into a state of perpetual winter, forcing the Kongs to take it back from them. | |||

When Fredrik is defeated, he is blasted out of the volcano, destroying his command ship in the process, and crashes into the sea where his remaining Snowmad ships are stationed, ending their reign over the island. | ||

They also appear to have great access to technology, as they are seen with mechs and cranes in certain levels. | ||
