Snow imp



Snow imps were part of the 2007 Christmas event and 2008 Christmas Event. They gave away hats and weapons for snowmen, and teleported players to the Land of Snow or back to Runescape. Unlike regular imps, they could not harm players, nor could players attack them.

Hats
Snow imps gave the player different kinds of hats. The player could get a pirate hat, top hat, barbarian hat, dragon hat or a dwarf hat to put on their snowman, the snowman inherited characteristics from the type of hat the player placed on them, (as can be seen in their speech, if the player use a dwarf hat they become dwarflike etc.) These hats temporarily gave life to the players snowman, enabling the player to talk to them. After a while, they went away.

The player could also get snowman weapons. The player could get a Holly Bow (Ranger), Winter Staff (Mage) or Ice Sword (Melee). These would make the players snowman jump to life and start fighting other snowmen. However, the player could not take these out of the Land of Snow. If the player wanted to help the players snowman win a fight, they could be healed by using snowballs with them, or by throwing snowballs at them.

The snow imps also played a key role in the 2008 Christmas Event. They called be called out as a familiar as sort by operating the Ice Amulet, however they have no further use (as of yet) after the event is over. They are also featured in the new quest Myths of the White Lands
