Name Origin[]

The name "Cowboy Snowman" is unofficial due to the official name not being revealed yet. However, it can be implied that he is a snowman due to his hat and lasso on attached to his belt.

Appearance[]

The cowboy snowman is a tall white snowman with three buttons, and sticks for arms. He wears a brown western themed belt that has a large silver belt buckle along with a holster for his lasso.

Personality[]

The cowboy snowman is down-to-earth. Upon returning his hat, he will state that he is not really a cowboy, he merely dresses up like one on weekends.

Location[]

The Cowboy Snowman can be found inside of Glitterglaze Cave, which is located inside of a river on top of the Igloo Cliffs. At the end of the cave, the Cowboy Snowman can be found on a small ramp.

Task[]

For the duo to receive a Pagie, the duo must help all 5 snowmen collect their hat. The Cowboy Snowman's hat is located underneath a pile of snow near Vendi, who is located below the Frozen Path entrance, and across the world entrance.

To retrieve the hat, once the player has transformed into the Snowplough, they can access the pile of by one of two ways: traveling through the Crystalline Cave to Vendi, or going through shortcut to the Igloo Cliffs, and carefully making the duo's way down the Frozen Path. However, it's recommended to take the path through the Crystalline Cave since going through the Frozen Path is longer and riskier since the player can fall into the water and the transformation will be undone.

Once the duo returns the hat to the Cowboy Snowman, they will be rewarded with a Pagie if it was their last Snowman task.

While on the other hand, the pants are mainly green with a small, purple, square-shaped patch, as well as a brown belt and red trim around the legs.

Trivia[]

The pants are a recolored version of Trowzer's shorts.
On rare occasions, enemies in Yooka-Laylee can be found wearing a pair of pants on their head as well.**Adding pants in certain places in Yooka-Laylee could possibly be an ongoing joke within the Playtonic Games community, and the Rare community.
- - During Playstation Access at EGX 2016, Chris Sutherland explained that the joke originated from a common complaint from the Yooka-Laylee community regarding Yooka's lack of clothing during the initial reveal of Yooka and Laylee^[1], The coloration of the pants and the frequency at which his lack of pants is mentioned by Playtonic also supports this being the case.
  - The joke may also be intended as a reference to a character known as "Mr. Pants", a mascot for Rareware's official website (who would later receive his own game, the 2005 title It's Mr. Pants! for the Game Boy Advance).
    - The older members of Rareware have consistently added Mr. Pants cameos in their older titles such as a few cameos in Banjo-Tooie, Jet Force Gemini, Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Viva Piñata, and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.
  - During an interview at EGX, a Corplet was spotted with pants on his head. A lady asked "Why isn't Yooka wearing any pants? Did the minions steal them?" Sutherland then responded with "just play the game and you'll find out," foreshadowing the pants' use in the game.**** It turns out that the final Play Tonic that the duo gets gives Yooka a pair of pants, proving what Chris Sutherland said about pants being in the game.
  - Yooka and Laylee even make a special guest appearance in Brief Battles, a game where players fight over pants.
