Why not an snow biome boss?

Ice King

55,000 HP (1st stage), 33,000 (2nd stage), 10,000 (3rd stage)

Attack: 50 (Melee) 25 (Magic) 75 (Ranged)

Defense: 25

Summoned by: Reaching at least wave 15 during Frost Moon. From there, he will randomly spawn in the snow biome while there's a blizzard. It is not required to be night.

Appearence: He has 3 stages: The first stage has him looking similar to the Frost Queen, except he's male, so he looks like a male. The second stage makes him change into a larger Ice Golem, except a little more new features on his sprite. His third stage turns him into an Ice Elemental (i think that's what they are called), except there are glowing red eyes looking at the player while it's flying.

Attacks: It will keep the same Frost Queen attack patterns, except will also shoot Frost Bullets. In his second stage, he won't bear the same attack patterns as an Ice Golem. Instead he will run extremely fast and is able to summon ice pillars that will fall down. Both you and him can walk ontop of them, and after 10 seconds they will disappear. In his third stage, he will keep the Ice Elemental's laser attack, except will still go extremely fast. He will summon Ice Servants (5,000-6,000 HP, it's random) that will help fight for him, which are larger and upgraded versions of Ice Elementals, though they are small compared to the Ice King. He's basically using Eye of Cthulu's attack patterns now, just a lot harder to avoid.

Music: Frost Moon/Plantera Remixed (i wish someone could make it)

Drops: Winter Storm Staff (Upgraded version of Blizzard Staff) 33%

The South Pole (Upgraded version of The North Pole) 33%

Gold- 15-20 (100%)

Ice Hook (NOT a grappling hook, it's a flail like the Chain Knife, but does 78 damage at base and inflicts Frostburn) 33%

The defeat of Ice King will summon a new event called the "Snowed In!" event, which will carry all of the Frost Moon monsters excluding the bosses, and Ice Servants are included in this event. There is also a mini-boss in this event called "Loyal Ice Guard" which is a Paladin covered in ice, except it carries a spear that it throws instead of The Paladin's Hammer.
