Blizzaurus is a boss in the game Super Princess Peach. It is battled at the end of World 6, Gleam Glacier. It appears as a giant cyan dragon-type boss with a blue mane, but later is revealed to be a sprite. In sprite form, Blizzaurus has light blue skin and wears a sleeveless dress and a golden headband with pink orbs on it. It carries a golden sceptre that lets them perform magic attacks.
When Princess Peach enters the boss room, she sees an imprisoned Toad (or a stash of Coins if she completed the level beforehand). Blizzaurus catches the princess off guard with its ice breath and then charges, breaking them free and beginning the fight proper.
Battle[edit]
During battle, Blizzaurus mainly attacks with their massive body by charging directly at Peach. It can also create glaciers from the ground. It has an ice beam that freezes anything touching it. Princess Peach can deal damage onto Blizzaurus' ice shield by using her Rage vibe. Successfully breaking Blizzaurus' ice shield causes it to lose a life; when this happens, Blizzaurus rears back in pain as it gains crosses for eyes.
After Blizzaurus loses three lives, they transform into their true form: a fairy. In this state, it flies around, constructing icicles and blasting them at Princess Peach while the former's ice shield force protects them. It can also swing their wand to send a few balls of cryogenic energy at the princess. Due to their size and flying in the air, Peach has to jump while using the Rage vibe or stand on the fallen icicles to damage Blizzaurus.
Upon defeat, Blizzaurus shrinks anti-clockwise, then spews into snow.
Once Blizzaurus is defeated, Peach can travel to Giddy Sky.
