The Snow Flinx is an enemy that can be found in the Ice biome, located within the Cavern layer. It is very susceptible to knockback, and when hit, will tumble over and fly backwards.

Notes

The Snow Flinx will repeatedly hit a closed door in its path, but it is unable to open it.

Trivia

The Snow Flinx bears a striking resemblance to the Topi, an enemy from the 1984 video game Ice Climber, specifically the American and European censored sprite of the Topi.
The Snow Flinx has the fourth least knockback resistance, the third being Slimer without its wings, and the first being a tie between Pinky and the Golden Slime.
- Because of this, weapons like Slap Hand and Golem Fist can knock it back for enormous distances.

The Bestiary entry for the Snow Flinx: "A strange, round furry mammal with an unusually large, protruding nose. They are extremely lightweight."
