Froslass

Froslass (ユキメノコ Yukimenoko) is a Ice/Ghost-type Pokémon, and is one of the evolved forms of Snorunt. Only female Snorunt can evolve into a Froslass with the use of a Dawn Stone.

Appearance
Froslass are a slightly humanoid Pokémon that appear to be wearing a kimono. Froslass's entire body is located on its head and not the "dress" that it appears to wear, as the Pokédex states that "what appears to be its body is actually hollow. Over the top of its head is a type of mask with two "horns" made of ice. On this mask are several openings, one for its mouth, two for its eyes and one in the center of its forehead, all of which reveal its purple skin underneath. Attached to the sides of its head are its arms which increase in length until the wrists, enforcing the look of a kimono. On the center of Froslass's dress is a large, tied ribbon or obi, fitting in with the kimono theme.

The shiny version of a Froslass are overall duller in tone and have a pink coloured obi instead of a red one.

Abilities
All Froslass have the ability Snow Cloak which will raise its evasiveness when the move Hail is used.

Unlike Snorunt or it other evolved form Glalie, Froslass are a Ghost-type in addition to an Ice-type, allowing them to learn a number of moves the other forms cannot learn.

In Anime
Froslass made its debut appearance in the yet to be dubbed episode of Pokémon Yukimenoko in a Snowstorm!. During the episode, it appears to Ash and his friends while they are traveling through a snowstorm.

In Game
Froslass first appeared in the Generation IV games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, as a new evolutionary form of Snorunt.

Origins
Given its gender, types and appearance, Froslass are likely based off of the Yuki-onna (雪女? snow woman) from Japanese folklore. The Yuki-onna is a female spirit associated with winter and/or snowstorms that is sometimes depicted wearing a white kimono.

Froslass's English name comes from a combination of the words "Frost" and "Lass", similar, in the way it is fashioned, to its Japanese name. It's Japanese name, Yukimenoko, comes from cambining the words "Yuki" (snow) and "Menoko" (girl).
