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. Its French name is based off of "stalagmite".
