The Snomer[1] (スノーマ Sunōma)[2] is an arctic variant of Geemer seen in Metroid: Other M.
Description[]
The Snomer looks nearly identical to the Zebesian Geemer, although the Snomer features blue skin, white spikes, and green eyes. By extension, they are also related to Sovas and Zoomers.
Snomers are found in Sector 2 / Cryosphere of the BOTTLE SHIP. Behaving just like the normal Geemers of Other M, they will come out of the ground, but with much greater frequency. They are also capable of rolling into a ball and leaping toward Samus to attack her rather than just being an obstacle. In one room, several Snomers and Himellas are found in large stasis tanks. It is possible to kill them using the Wave Beam or a Power Bomb; doing so allows Samus to collect a Missile Tank.

- Geemers and Snomers
- "Geemers and Snomers are pesky little creatures. They scurry about, usually toward you, and hurt you with their spikes. Luckily, they’re not very fast or resilient, so a few blasts from your Beam should do the trick."

"Geemers have countless spikes growing on their bodies. While they mostly crawl on the ground, they will quickly jump out at Samus. Snomers inhabit Sector 2, and Sovas inhabit Sector 3."
Trivia[]
- Another breed of Geemer that has adapted to frigid conditions, known simply as Ice Geemer, exists on planet Excelcion. Since Snomers have only been seen in the BOTTLE SHIP, it is possible that Snomers were artificially engineered as bioweapons by the Galactic Federation, while Ice Geemers are a natural adaptation of the species.
