Frozen Zombie

The Frozen Zombie (on ) or Zombie Eskimo (on ) is a Zombie variant that only appears on the Surface Snow biome at night. It acts the same as normal Zombies, slowly walking towards the player to deal contact damage, while attempting to navigate around obstacles and only being able to open doors during a Blood Moon. It is differentiated from other Zombies in that it is dressed in a light blue snow suit, which it can drop as armor pieces in the form of the Snow Hood, Snow Coat, and Snow Pants (on ), or Eskimo Hood, Eskimo Coat, and Eskimo Pants (on ).

Like normal Zombies, it has an armed variation in Expert Mode, which can perform a "slashing" attack when close to the player to deal extra damage with increased range.
