Trivia

Snorunt was the first pure Ice-type. All Ice-types before it had been half Ice-type. The only other pure Ice-types following it are Glalie, Regice, and Glaceon.

Origin

Snorunt is based on a "Yukinko", a Japanese sprite said to emerge when it snows, according to folk tales, as well as the zashiki warashi, a spiritual creature found in the folklore of Iwate Prefecture. It also seems to be a stylized version of a person wearing a yuki mino, a traditional Japanese winter costume worn long ago by many people in the snowy parts of Japan consisting of a conical snow-cloak made of straw. Generally, Yukinko are depicted as small elf-like creatures wearing yuki mino.

Name origin

Snorunt's name is a combination of snow and runt, referring to a small animal. Its Japanese name possibly is a combination of 雪 yuki, snow, and 座敷童子 zashiki warashi, a spiritual creature found in the folklore of Iwate Prefecture. The French name is based off of "stalagmite".
