Snowman

Snowmen were sculptures fashioned in the shape of men. They were built of snow, but items were usually added as accessories.

On Earth

In 1892 London, the Great Intelligence brought snowmen to life to take over the world. The snowmen could be summoned if someone was thinking about them, thanks to being made of telepathic snow, but if said person thought about melting the snowmen, they would melt. This army could be advanced into a humanoid form via the Ice Governess' template. However they were melted en masse when the Intelligence's snow form was melted by the Latimer house's sadness. (TV: The Snowmen)
