Snowmads

Snowmads (or Snomads) are the main antagonists in the game Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. They consist of stereotyped Viking-themed arctic animals, such as seals, walruses, and owls, and are led by Fredrik, a large walrus with glowing blue eyes. The name Snowmad is a portmanteau of snow and nomad.

The Snowmads set the events of the game in motion when their leader, using a giant white horn, summons a massive wind and an icy dragon. The dragon proceeds to blow the Kongs (Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Cranky Kong, and Funky Kong) away from the island, allowing a Snowmad ship to station itself near the former location of the island's Volcano. The Snowmads then seize the island and throw it into a state of perpetual winter, forcing the Kongs to take their island back from them.

Throughout the course of the game, their main base is Donkey Kong Island, though, they've invaded every island that the Kongs arrive on. When the Kongs finally make it back to their isle, they try to make their way to the top, where the command ship is stationed. When they reach the top, they find the leader of the Snomads, Lord Fredrik, sitting on a icy throne. The Kongs challenge him, but they shatter the icy ground, and they duel in the volcano. When Frederick is defeated, he is blasted out of the volcano, and into the Snomad armada, ending the threat forever.

Snomads appear to have attacked and invaded many islands, as they're found on every isle that the Kongs traverse. They also appear to have great access to technology, as they are seen with mechs and many cranes in certain levels.
