Bite-Sized Monster Dictionary

These mysterious creatures of snow and ice only appear during a large snowstorm or blizzards. They have a habit of freezing the lone travelers and abduct the males that they like. These cold and monstrous habits make them well known in Japanese society. They have the power to manipulate ice and snow.

Appearance

A Yuki-Onna's true form is not very different from a human. The most prominent features are their hair (which turns into ice) and their hands (which become sharpened ice claws) when transformed.

However, in the case of Mizore, it has been shown that it isn't nessescary to transform her hair when accessing her abilities.

Powers & Abilities

Yuki-Onna are cryokinetic beings, meaning that they have absolute control over ice and snow.

• Ice Claws: In their true forms, Yuki-Onna possess enormous ice claws.
• Ice Clones: Yuki-Onna have been shown to be able to create clones of themselves (and others) made out of ice.
• Ice Weapons: Yuki-Onna have been shown able of creating weapons made from ice (like daggers) and then throwing them at an enemy.

Weaknesses

Like other ice based creatures, Yuki-Onna are afraid of heat and fire. Heat also weakens their abilities, though they are still able to use them.

Weapon

When traveling to the Land of the Yuki-Onna, it is shown and implied that the chosen weapon for this ayashi seems to be a gun that shoots sharp ice shards that are highly similiar to a bullet. As stated by Mizore's mother, Tsuhara Shirayuki, when the ice shards are shot they melt soon after contact. Leaving no evidence of the bullet, though it still leaves the target harmed.

Trivia

• As stated by Miyabi Fujisaki, the reason why Yuki-Onna carry small suckers in their mouths is to keep their bodies at a cool temperature.
• Though in the anime Mizore's father is considered a Yuki-Onna, he is actually their male counterpart, a Yuki-Otoko, or abominable snowman. this however is inaccurate as abominable snowmen are unreated to Yuki'onna.
• In the anime, the homeland of the Yuki-Onna seems to be a ski resort located in the human world.
• According to Mizore, Snow Fairies are a rare species due to the fact they can only bear children between the ages of 17 to their mid 20s.
