Ice Golem

The  is a miniboss which only spawns during a blizzard in a Snow Biome after Hard Mode is activated.

It can spawn during night or day.

Behavior
Ice Golems are hostile and thus attack the player. They move slowly, but will fire a laser which can inflict the player with the debuff "Frozen". They are affected very little by knockback, and have a low jump height of only about 3 blocks.

Strategy
One method of taking on the Ice Golem without taking much damage is to create a trap. First, dig a ditch that is two blocks wide and six blocks high, make a doorway two blocks from the bottom, and four blocks between the door and the player's area. When the Ice Golem arrives, it will fall down the ditch and get trapped. This makes it possible to destroy the Ice Golem without taking damage.

Another way is to place blocks three to four blocks from the surface near a possible Ice Golem spawn area. When spawned, the Ice Golem will get trapped by the blocks, making it safe and easy to deal damage with ranged weapons.

Because of its low jump ability, a player can make a 5 block tall wall, and then break the first 3 blocks, making it impossible for the golem to hit the player, while still allowing players to be able to kill it with any weapon.
